Laravel utilizes Composer to manage its dependencies. First, download a copy of the composer.phar. Once you have the PHAR archive, you can either keep it in your local project directory or move to usr/local/bin to use it globally on your system. On Windows, you can use the Composer Windows installer.

cd laravel5startersite
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install --dev

cd laravel5startersite
composer install --dev

Please note the use of the --dev flag.

Some packages used to preprocess and minify assests are required on the development environment.

When you deploy your project on a production environment you will want to upload the composer.lock file used on the development environment and only run php composer.phar install on the production server.

This will skip the development packages and ensure the version of the packages installed on the production server match those you developped on.

NEVER RUN php composer.phar update ON YOUR PRODUCTION SERVER.

If you haven't already, you might want to make composer be installed globally:

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Now I can use composer by invoking just the composer command.

Optional way to do it, is to set up an alias: alias composer='/location/of/the/composer.phar'

In the same fashion, copy the app/config/mail.php configuration file in app/config/local/mail.php. Now set the address and name from the from array in config/mail.php. Those will be used to send account confirmation and password reset emails to the users. If you don't set that registration will fail because it cannot send the confirmation email.

If you finished first four steps, now you can create database on your database server(MySQL). You must create database with utf-8 collation(uft8_general_ci), to install and application work perfectly.

The configuration option that we need is create the encryption key that is used within the framework. To do this, all we need to do is to run:

php artisan key:generate

Now that you have the environment configured, you need to create a database configuration for it. If you install on your localhost in folder laravel4startersite, you can type on web browser: http://localhost/laravel4startersite And than finish the installation. Instalation would populate a database with tables and start-up data(you can delete that data later).

Now inside app/config that corresponds to the environment the code is deployed in. This will most likely be local or production when you first start a project.

You may setup your timezone:

<?php
	/*
	|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	| Application Timezone
	|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	|
	| Here you may specify the default timezone for your application, which
	| will be used by the PHP date and date-time functions. We have gone
	| ahead and set this to a sensible default for you out of the box.
	|
	*/

	'timezone' => 'UTC',
);

####Admin login You can login to admin part of Laravel Framework 5 Bootstrap 3 Starter Site:
