Laravel Admin & CMS System (Browse, Read, Edit, Add & Delete), supporting Laravel 5.5 and newer!, (*9)
Installation Steps
1. Require the Package
After creating your new Laravel application you can include the Voyager package with the following command:, (*10)
composer require rcs/cms
2. Add the DB Credentials & APP_URL
Next make sure to create a new database and add your database credentials to your .env file:, (*11)
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret
You will also want to update your website URL inside of the APP_URL variable inside the .env file:, (*12)
APP_URL=http://localhost:8000
Enjoy!, (*13)
3. Run The Installer
Lastly, we can install voyager. You can do this either with or without dummy data.
The dummy data will include 1 admin account (if no users already exists), 1 demo page, 4 demo posts, 2 categories and 7 settings., (*14)
To install Voyager without dummy simply run, (*15)
php artisan cms:install
If you prefer installing it with dummy run, (*16)
php artisan cms:install --with-dummy
Troubleshooting: Specified key was too long error. If you see this error message you have an outdated version of MySQL, use the following solution: https://laravel-news.com/laravel-5-4-key-too-long-error, (*17)
And we're all good to go!, (*18)
Start up a local development server with php artisan serve And, visit http://localhost:8000/admin., (*19)
Creating an Admin User
If you did go ahead with the dummy data, a user should have been created for you with the following login credentials:, (*20)
email: admin@admin.com
password: password, (*21)
NOTE: Please note that a dummy user is only created if there are no current users in your database., (*22)
If you did not go with the dummy user, you may wish to assign admin privileges to an existing user.
This can easily be done by running this command:, (*23)
php artisan cms:admin your@email.com
If you did not install the dummy data and you wish to create a new admin user you can pass the --create flag, like so:, (*24)
php artisan cms:admin your@email.com --create
And you will be prompted for the user's name and password., (*25)
