    'redirect' => '/',

After done configuring

php artisan config:cache

Usage

• Install this package
• Keep a skeleton .env file with an initial APP_KEY Generated
• Browse your-site.com/install to get started.

Additional Notes

• You do not need to delete any file or uninstall the package after installation, it's middleware protected
• If you want to change the APP_KEY after installation, keep a migration with Artisan::call('key:generate')
• Installer setup is always developer-end work, so be sure your migration runs without any bug normally. A developer can manually check the migration from fresh terminal install, even the installer give the migration output, the user can not debug your migration errors. So before applying installer, be sure about your migrations.

Examples

Advanced Usage

Export the views to customize your design of installer! (If you wish to customize)

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=installer-views
