Installation steps for Laravel Angular Material Starter
2017 Update
While this starter used to be an excellent starting point for Laravel 5 & Angular 1.x, using Angular 1.x results in large JavaScript bundles which makes mobile experience slow.
Thus it's recommended to upgrade to Angular (2+).
Checkout the new Laravel & Angular package at laravel-angular.io
Which version should you use: 3.4 or 3.2?
If you're looking to build a Progressive Web App, version 3.4.x is recommended.
However, if you're not planning to build a Progressive Web App, then it's recommended that you stick to version 3.2.x.
