After you finished with the above steps, you can run the following commands to run the project locally or build for production use:

Command	Description
`npm install`	This would install all the required dependencies in the `node_modules` folder.
`composer install`	command to install all of the framework's dependencies.
Please run the below command to generate the new key. php artisan key:generate Please fill your DB credentials in the .env file. DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=minia_laravel DB_USERNAME=root DB_PASSWORD=
`npm run build`	To compile all assets files like CSS, JS and will copy all images into the public directory. Run this command to get minify output for the production server.
`npm run build-rtl`	To generate RTL css from LTR.
`npm run watch`	If you are working on the project and would like to compile all assets files then tun this command so it will auto compile all assets so you dont need to run "npm run dev" command multiple times.

`php artisan migrate`	This will migrate the database tables. For more details visit https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/migrations
`php artisan serve`	The development server is accessible at http://localhost:8000. To run on other port just run command : php artisan serve --port=8001

Multi Language Settings

Lets add french language.

Create new file translation.php in the fr folder in the resources/lang folder and add the below code.

<?php
        // translation.php
        return [
                'welcome' => 'Welcome Friend'
        ];

You need to add the new language option in the topbar resources/views/layouts/topbar.blade.php. Make sure to add it flag image and option in the dropdown.

Tips

We suggest you to do not change any scss files from the resources/scss/custom folders because to get new updates will might be break your SCSS changes if any you have made. We strongly suggest you to create new custom.scss file and use that instead of overwrite any theme's custom scss files.
