**Setting project**

1. Install PHP, Composer, VirtualBox & Vagrant.

2. Clone or download repository.

3. Go to project root directory.

4. Run `composer install`.

5. Run `php vendor/bin/homestead make` in Mac/Linux or `vendor\\bin\\homestead make` in Windows.

6. Duplicate `.env.example` file, rename it to `.env` and run `php artisan key:generate`.

7. Add `192.168.10.10 homestead.app` to the `hosts` file on your machine.

8. Run `vagrant up` from project root directory (if you get a SSH error try running `ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your@email.com"` in your home directory in order to generate a public/private RSA key pair. Then try running `vagrant up` again).

9. Access the site via your web browser: `homestead.app`.

**Managing database**

1. Open your favorite MySQL manager software.

2. Connect to the database with these credentials:<br>
&emsp;`Host: 127.0.0.1`<br>
&emsp;`User: homestead`<br>
&emsp;`Password: secret`<br>
&emsp;`Port: 33060`

**Stopping Homestead**

1. Run `vagrant halt` from project root directory. Or `vagrant destroy` to delete the virtual machine.

2. To run Homestead again just run `vagrant up` from project root directory.
