Full Installation Guide

1. Install package

   composer require unisharp/laravel-filemanager
   

2. (optional) Edit config/app.php :

   * For Laravel 5.5 and up, skip to step 3. All service providers and facades are automatically discovered.

   Add service providers

   UniSharp\LaravelFilemanager\LaravelFilemanagerServiceProvider::class,
   Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider::class,
   

   And add class aliases

   'Image' => Intervention\Image\Facades\Image::class,
   

   Code above is for Laravel 5.1. In Laravel 5.0 should leave only quoted class names.

3. Publish the package's config and assets :

   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lfm_config
   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lfm_public
   

4. (optional) Run commands to clear cache :

   php artisan route:clear
   php artisan config:clear
   

5. Ensure that the files & images directories (in config/lfm.php) are writable by your web server (run commands like chown or chmod).

6. Create symbolic link :

   php artisan storage:link
   

7. Edit APP_URL in .env.

8. Edit routes/web.php :

   Create route group to wrap package routes.

   Route::group(['prefix' => 'laravel-filemanager', 'middleware' => ['web', 'auth']], function () {
       \UniSharp\LaravelFilemanager\Lfm::routes();
   });
   

   Make sure auth middleware is present to :

   1. prevent unauthorized uploads
   2. work properly with multi-user mode

9. make sure database exists

10. login and visit /laravel-filemanager/demo
