How to open downloaded laravel projects from GITHUB on localhost XAMPP

If you are using Homestead, just install the app's dependencies:

composer install

and migrate the database:

php artisan migrate

If you are not using Homestead, then create a database and update the config/database.php with the connection information before you try to migrate.

Hi,

When i download the file and then had change the DB details.

However, i'm receiving the below error: FatalErrorException in ProviderRepository.php line 146: Class 'Illuminate\Routing\ControllerServiceProvider' not found in C:\xamppp\htdocs\master\local\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\ProviderRepository.php line 146

Thanks Kaushik

You should clone the repo, but it's not going to include all the files because of Ignore files. Zip works too but either way errors are expected. You just need to work through each error. The errors your getting are self explanatory, the file doesn't exist and you need to create it or find it.

@djkaushiksk1 You need to run composer install from the cmd.

Thanks Sachin,

First need to download the project.

Then extract the file and put it in htdocs

Change the DB details in the .env file and also in the /config/database.php

Then open CMD

Go to the directory where the project is

Enter the command composer install

Enter the command php artisan migrate

run the project on the browser DONE

Thanks all,

You all are a genius... thanks for helping out
