How to add /import sample Laravel Project?

Question

After familiar with Codeigniter, I stared to learn Laravel.

I able to install Laravel using following command.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

It works fine. :-)

---

Next I tried to setup sample Laravel project. I found a sample project from here (https://github.com/evercode1/sample-project).

What I did is I just download it and copied all folders to Xampp htdocs folder.

Then I visit the "http://localhost/sample-project-master/public/".

It gives following error.

Warning: require(D:\xampp\htdocs\sample-project-master\bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\xampp\htdocs\sample-project-master\bootstrap\autoload.php on line 17

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'D:\xampp\htdocs\sample-project-master\bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='D:\xampp\php\PEAR') in D:\xampp\htdocs\sample-project-master\bootstrap\autoload.php on line 17

Have I done mistake when setting up already available Laravel project? How I correct following errors or what is the way to import Laravel project?

Answer 1

You should do:
1) Install composer dependencies

composer install

2) An application key need to be generated with the command

php artisan key:generate

3) Open Project in a Code Editor, rename .env.example to .env and modify DB name, username, password to your environment.

4) Migrate the database along with seed

php artisan migrate --seed

5) Now run the artisan serve command

php artisan serve
