# Quick Start

If you want to get up and running quickly to review Lunar, this section is for you.

# Demo Store

Lunar provides a demo store as a reference to help you build your own custom e-commerce app. The demo store is built using Laravel Livewire (as is our admin hub). You can quickly see how to load products, collections, use the cart and checkout.

If you would prefer to install Lunar into your own Laravel application, please follow the installation instructions.

# Requirements

  • PHP ^8.0
  • MySQL 5.7+ / PostgreSQL 9.2+
  • exif PHP extension (on most systems it will be installed by default)
  • GD PHP extension (used for image manipulation)

WARNING

This demo store uses Meilisearch, for the best experience it is recommended you use this as well. If you want to use MySQL for search then you need to make sure you follow the configuration steps: Search Configuration (opens new window)

# Installation

# Clone the repo

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/lunarphp/demo-store.git

This will create a shallow clone of the repo, from there you would just need to remove the .git folder and reinitialise it to make it your own.

cd demo-store
rm -rf .git

Then install composer dependencies

composer install

# Configure the Laravel app

Copy the .env.example file to .env and make sure the details match to your install.

cp .env.example .env

All the relevant configuration files should be present in the repo.

# Migrate and seed.

php artisan migrate

php artisan lunar:install

Seed the demo data.
