# Installation

When you pay for your site license or lifetime license (if available) you are entitled to a copy of the LaraNx code.

The installation documentation begins after you have created your laravel application and installed one of the Laravel Starter Kits. We have provided a video and detailed explanation of how you can create your Laravel application and launch Laranx in under 5 minutes here.

# Download Package

Whether your account is on LaraNx.com or Gumroads you will have access to downloading a zip file.

Download the file and uncompress in root directory of your Laravel installation. Eventually, a composer package will be available, but for now we will use this method.

# Install

Begin by copying the laranx.zip file to your application root directory.

Uncompress the laranx.zip file using unzip.

unzip laranx.zip

The following directories will be created in your application.

|-packages
    |-srg
        |-laranx

In composers.json add:

"repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "packages/srg/laranx",
            "options": {
                "symlink": true
            }
        }
    ],

And the following line to "require": section in composer.json

"srg/laranx": "dev-master"

There have been issues with adding the package from the command line, so add it manually to the composer.json file.

If you haven't created your storage symbolic link yet run:

php artisan storage:link

Run the following commands:

composer update
php artisan migrate

Publish the theming directory

 php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laranx

Finally, we are going to setup routing.

In your routes/web.php

replace:

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

with

use Srg\Laranx\Laranx;
Laranx::routes();

# Setup LaraNx Admin

Once the install is complete, LaraNx is ready.

You will get the Welcome to LaraNx screen.
