Installation Steps ------------------ [](#installation-steps) ### 1. Require the Package [](#1-require-the-package) After creating your new Laravel application you can include the Voyager package with the following command: ``` composer require tcg/voyager ``` ### 2. Add the DB Credentials & APP\_URL [](#2-add-the-db-credentials--app_url) Next make sure to create a new database and add your database credentials to your .env file: ``` DB_HOST=localhost DB_DATABASE=homestead DB_USERNAME=homestead DB_PASSWORD=secret ``` You will also want to update your website URL inside of the `APP_URL` variable inside the .env file: ``` APP_URL=http://localhost:8000 ``` ### 3. Run The Installer [](#3-run-the-installer) Lastly, we can install voyager. You can do this either with or without dummy data. The dummy data will include 1 admin account (if no users already exists), 1 demo page, 4 demo posts, 2 categories and 7 settings. To install Voyager without dummy simply run ``` php artisan voyager:install ``` If you prefer installing it with dummy run ``` php artisan voyager:install --with-dummy ``` > Troubleshooting: **Specified key was too long error**. If you see this error message you have an outdated version of MySQL, use the following solution: And we're all good to go! Start up a local development server with `php artisan serve` And, visit . Creating an Admin User ---------------------- [](#creating-an-admin-user) If you did go ahead with the dummy data, a user should have been created for you with the following login credentials: > **email:** `admin@admin.com` > **password:** `password` NOTE: Please note that a dummy user is **only** created if there are no current users in your database. If you did not go with the dummy user, you may wish to assign admin privileges to an existing user. This can easily be done by running this command: ``` php artisan voyager:admin your@email.com ``` If you did not install the dummy data and you wish to create a new admin user you can pass the `--create` flag, like so: ``` php artisan voyager:admin your@email.com --create ``` And you will be prompted for the user's name and password. ### Health Score 19 — LowBetter than 10% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity0 Limited adoption so far Community2 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity47 Maturing project, gaining track record How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
