Follow these steps to install and run Mintlify on your operating system: Step 1: Clone the repository 
git clone git@github.com:larastore-io/laravel-react-inertia.git
Step 2: Navigate to project’s root directory and create .env file. 
cp .env.example .env
Open .env file and adjust environment variables. Set application URL to be:
  1. http://localhost or http://larastore.test (You will need to update hosts file) If you are setting the project up with docker.
  2. http://localhost:8000 (Port might change if port 8000 is occupied) if you are setting the project up without docker.
  • For Docker
  • Without Docker
APP_URL=http://localhost
If you want to use MySql instead of sqlite, modify the DB_* variables. 
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=mysql
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=larastore
DB_USERNAME=sail
DB_PASSWORD=password
Step 3: Setup the Project There are two options to setup the project:
  1. Setup with docker (using laravel sail)
  2. Or setup manually
  • Setup with Docker
  • Manual Setup
You don’t need to have php, composer or npm commands available in your machine. You only need docker.
This command will install composer packages using docker and you should see vendor folder appearing in your file system.
docker run --rm \
    -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
    -v "$(pwd):/var/www/html" \
    -w /var/www/html \
    laravelsail/php84-composer:latest \
    composer install --ignore-platform-reqs
Start the projectThe following command will start necessary docker containers and start the project at http://localhost port 80. -d flag will run the containers in detached mode.
./vendor/bin/sail up -d
Stop the projectIf you started the project without -d flag you can simply hit ctrl + c (cmd + c on Mac) to stop running containers. However if you started the project with -d you need to execute the following commands to stop running containers.
./vendor/bin/sail stop
If you want to drop all containers, execute
./vendor/bin/sail down
Running terminal commandsWhenever you need to execute terminal commands (such as artisan commands) you need to execute them from inside docker container.The command bellow will get you inside the docker container.
Before executing the command bellow make sure docker containers are up and running (By command ./vendor/bin/sail up
If you started docker containers without -d you probably need to open a new terminal and execute the following command there.
./vendor/bin/sail bash
Install npm dependencies
npm install
Start Vite Server
npm run dev
If you are setting up the project with docker you need to execute every command from inside the container.
Step 4: Generate application key 
php artisan key:generate
Step 5: Create storage link 
php artisan storage:link
Step 6: Run Migrations 
php artisan migrate --seed
Application URL Now you can access the application in your browser
  1. http://localhost or http://larastore.test If you set up the project with docker.
  2. http://localhost:8000 (Port might be different if port 8000 was occupied) if you are set up the project without docker.
