Setting Up Lunar For Local Development ​

Overview ​

This guide is here to help you set-up Lunar locally so you can contribute to the core and admin hub.

Before your start ​

You will need a Laravel application to run Lunar in.

Set-Up ​

In the root folder of your Laravel application, create a "packages" folder.

sh
mkdir packages && cd packages

Add the "packages" folder to your .gitignore file so the folder is not committed to your Git repository.

...
/.idea
/.vscode
/packages

Fork and then clone the monorepo to the packages folder, e.g. /packages/lunar/.

sh
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/lunar

Update your composer.json file similar to the following.

json
    "repositories": [{
        "type": "path",
        "url": "packages/*",
        "symlink": true
    }],

    "require": {
        "lunarphp/lunar": "*",
    }

Ensure minimum stability is set for development

json
    "minimum-stability": "dev",

Run composer update from your Laravel application's root directory and fingers crossed you're all up and running,.

sh
composer update

Done ​

You can now follow the Lunar installation process and start contributing.
