How to sell a Laravel script

For those of you who have sold a laravel project on marketplaces like codecanyon before. How do you bundle the cold.

Do you only bundle the files in the app,config, database and public folder? With instructions on how to integrate it into a fresh install of Lavavel. Or do you just bundle the entire project including all packages and vendor dir?

Thanks

@fraserk I think it is the same as when you manually deploy; your sources including composer.json then the users should do a composer update to get Laravel and the packages in the composer.json. (so no vendor directory)

Look into package development and I guess that would be the right approach.

@ayekoto I went with @Ricardo surggested. I included everything without the vendor directory. I then have the use run "composer instal"l to install the vendor folder and all the required packages.

@fraserk Okay, pls can you share a copy of your installation guide, I heard if not properly written, codecayon might reject the app
