## Beginner friendly installation
## Requirements
Make sure you have **node** >= 4 and **npm** >= 3 by running `node -v
` and `npm -v
`.
Check if **gulp** is installed globally on your system by running `gulp -v
`. If it's not installed, run `npm install -g gulp
`.
Check if **bower** is installed globally on your system by running `bower -v
`. If it's not installed, run `npm install -g bower
`.
## Setup
Create the project using composer create-project command
`composer create-project jadjoubran/laravel5-angular-material-starter:3.2.x --prefer-dist
`
then `cd
` into the newly created directory
and install local **node dependencies** and **bower packages**
`npm install
`
`bower install
`
edit your `.env
` file and fix your database credentials
and then run the migrations
`php artisan migrate
`
and **compile** the assets and **watch** for changes
`gulp && gulp watch
`
now you need to open a new terminal tab/window and cd into the same directory in order to **serve** the application
`php artisan serve
`
Your starter project is now ready on [localhost:8000](🔗)
