SaasCart API Installation

Before you start, confirm that your system meets the required specifications outlined for setting up the SaasCart API.

​
Getting Started with SaasCart API

​
1. Open SaasCart API Directory

Navigate to the saascart-api directory that you downloaded from CodeCanyon.

​
2. Environment Settings

  • Change the values to the following keys in the .env file:

If you’re running your Laravel project locally (localhost), use localhost with the current running port in APP_URL. For example:

  • APP_URL=http://localhost:8000
  • DB_DATABASE=saascart
  • DB_USERNAME=root
  • DB_PASSWORD=database_password
Ensure APP_URL is set correctly. Incorrect configuration may affect features like uploading, downloading, and displaying images. Double-check to ensure accuracy.

​
3. Install Required Dependencies

In the saascart-api folder, run the following command to install the required dependencies:

composer install

​
4. Generate Laravel App Key

Once the necessary dependencies are installed, generate the Laravel app key by running:

php artisan key:generate

Run the following command to link storage and display images correctly:

php artisan storage:link

​
6. Run SaasCart API

Once you’ve completed the previous steps, start the SaasCart API by running:

php artisan serve

The API will run on the default port, accessible at 127.0.0.1:8000 in your web browser.
