This application follows the standard Laravel project installation process. Run the following from the app's root directory:

1. Install Composer dependencies:

   (in local development environment)

   composer install

   (in production environment)

   composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev

2. Run database migrations (create tables): php artisan migrate

3. Generate application key (used for encryption): php artisan key:generate

Your web server should be configured so that the web root is the /public directory.

In a production environment, it's also recommended to run some additional optimisation commands. Do not do this in a local development environment as it may prevent your changes from taking effect.
