Introduction ​

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

Livewire Starter Kit ​

Lunar provides a starter kit as a reference to help you build your own custom e-commerce app. The starter kit 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 >= 8.2
  • MySQL 8.0+ / PostgreSQL 9.2+
  • exif PHP extension (on most systems it will be installed by default)
  • intl PHP extension (on most systems it will be installed by default)
  • bcmath PHP extension (on most systems it will be installed by default)
  • GD PHP extension (used for image manipulation)

Installation ​

TIP

We assume you have a suitable local development environment in which to run Lunar. We would highly suggest Laravel Herd for this purpose.

Create a New Project ​

bash
composer create-project --stability dev lunarphp/livewire-starter-kit example-store

cd example-store

Configure the Laravel app ​

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

bash
cp .env.example .env

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

Migrate and Seed ​

php artisan lunar:install

Seed the demo data.

bash
