(windows won't let you do it, so you have to open your console cd your project root directory and run mv .env.example .env ) Open the console and cd your project root directory Run composer install Run php artisan key:generate Run php artisan migrate Run php artisan db:seed to run seeders, if any. Run php artisan serve Now, your project will run. Good Luck!!
