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

​
Requirements

  • PHP >= 8.2
  • MySQL 8.0+ / PostgreSQL 9.4+
  • 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

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

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

cd my-store
or using the latest Laravel Installer you can do… 
laravel new my-store --using=lunarphp/livewire-starter-kit

cd my-store

​
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

Install Lunar 
php artisan lunar:install
Seed the demo data. 
php artisan db:seed
Link the storage directory 
php artisan storage:link
