Step-2: Run the app

Once you are done with the setup you are ready to run the application. In order to run the application make sure you have all the necessary environments running. This project requires a web server to run. You can run a development server by running this command below in a terminal inside dashcode-laravel folder,

shell

php artisan serve

WARNING

If you are not willing to run this project using php artisan serve command, then make sure your apache and mysql are running. To do so you can use any of the environments like XAMPP, MAMP, Valet, Laragon etc.

Just paste the dashcode-laravel folder in your project root directory. For example root directory for XAMPP is htdocs, root directory for Laragon is www, root directory for WAMP is www, root directory for MAMP htdocs. Please find your root directory in case you are using any different software. After that make sure Apache and MySql are running.

TIP

XAMPP is a free and open-source cross-platform web server solution stack package developed by Apache Friends, consisting mainly of the Apache HTTP Server, MariaDB database, and interpreters for scripts written in the PHP programming language.
