Prerequisites

Please follow the steps in Getting started to create and configure a project in the Corbado developer panel.

Create a .env file with the contents of the .env.example file and paste your own project ID as well as your own API secret. Make sure to copy all other contents from the .env.example file as well.

Also make sure that you have PHP as well as Composer installed and accessible from your shell.

Usage

Then you can run the project locally by first downloading all dependencies with composer install, then create the database by running php artisan migrate and start the local instance with php artisan serve.
