Quick Start

To get up and running with Coaster CMS as quickly as possible you can use Laravel's built-in php artisan serve command. Simply run the following command from your project's directory:

<code> php artisan serve </code>

This will take care of the web server side of things, but you'll still need to install and configure a local MySQL database.
