This is my personal blog project develop with latest Laravel version 5.1. Its opensource for students learning purpose.

After download or clone this project you'll see that there are no vendor directory exists in this project. Don't be worried. Laravel maintain there all packages by composer. Composer is a package dependency tools for PHP. so go to this project via Terminal and run this command

$ composer install

Noted: to run this command you have to enable internet connection

Now composer will sync all packages from server.

Configuration

If you sure all packages was downloaded then you have to configure this project. At first create a database and put your database credentials in .env file. .env is local environment file for laravel. After saving this configuration you have to database migrate. To migrate database run this command in your terminal

$ php artisan migrate

Wow you done it.

Now your project are completely ready to learn.

Run your project

There are no special procedure to run this project. Go to terminal and run this

$ php artisan serve

Now your project run under 8000 port http://localhost:8000.

Remember this: every time you have to run this server at 8000 port. Because our social login activate under this port

Okay, now open this project in your browser and I think it will working fine. To login this project click login and now click 'facebook' icon and then it will automatically login. In this open source version I was integrate only facebook login.

After login this there are a single problem. You can not access Admin area. Okay its not a big deal. go to your database and click users table edit your user and and change user role to admin and save it. Now logout your account from this project and re-login.

Great, now it will work fine and you can access admin area.
