Installation

Learn how to install Laravel Admin Panel

After creating your new Laravel application you can include the Laravel Admin Panel package with the command:

Bash

$ composer require laraveladminpanel/admin

Change the URL in the APP_URL variable in your .env file:

APP_URL=http://localhost

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret

If you are installing with Laravel 5.4 you will need to add the Service Provider manually. If you are on >=5.5 this happens automatically.

To install Laravel Admin Panel without dummy data simply run

Bash

php artisan admin:install

If you prefer installing it with dummy data run

Bash

php artisan admin:install --with-dummy

Troubleshooting

Specified key was too long error. If you see this error message you have an outdated version of MySQL, follow the link: https://laravel-news.com/laravel-5-4-key-too-long-error

Start up a local development server with php artisan serve And, visit http://localhost:8000/admin.

If you installed with the dummy data, a admin has been created:

email: [email protected]
password: password

Quick Note

A dummy user is only created if not exists in your database.

You may wish to assign admin priveleges to an existing user.
This can be done by running this command:

Bash

php artisan admin:admin [email protected]

If you wish to create a new admin user you can pass the --create flag, like so:

Bash

php artisan admin:admin [email protected] --create

And you will be prompted for the users name and password.
