Setting up a Development Environment

Requires PHP (5.6+), Composer, Vagrant (1.7.4+), and Virtualbox

1. Install dependencies with Composer using the command php composer.phar install
2. Install the Laravel Homestead Vagrant box using the command vagrant box add laravel/homestead
3. Generate Homestead.yaml (php vendor/bin/homestead make on Mac/Linux, vendor\\bin\\homestead make on Windows)
4. Edit .env and set APP_KEY to a value that's 32 bytes long (since this is for development only, it could be any 32 ASCII characters). For useful debugging info when something goes wrong, also set APP_DEBUG to true
5. Run vagrant up to start the Vagrant box
6. In order to build and seed the database, type vagrant ssh to SSH into the Vagrant box, then cd pac12 and php artisan migrate:refresh --seed to run the database migrations and seed the database

You can now access the app in a web browser at the address http://localhost:8000/.
