Setup Commands

Installation and initial configuration commands. Run these once when setting up a new project or developer environment.

Command	Signature	Description
install	modularous:install	Full Modularous installation (publishes config, runs migrations, sets up auth)
setup:development	modularous:setup:development	Configure a local dev environment (symlinks, env, permissions)
create:database	modularous:create:database	Create the application database if it does not exist
create:superadmin	modularous:create:superadmin	Create the initial superadmin user account

TIP

Run modularous:install first, then modularous:create:superadmin to bootstrap a fresh project.

Common Workflows

First install on a fresh project

composer require unusualify/modularous
php artisan modularous:create:database       # optional — only if the DB doesn't exist yet
php artisan modularous:install               # publishes config + runs migrations + sets up auth
php artisan modularous:create:superadmin     # creates the first admin user
php artisan modularous:build                 # build frontend assets

Bootstrapping a dev machine after a fresh clone

composer install
npm install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
php artisan modularous:setup:development     # symlinks, storage perms, optional seeders
php artisan modularous:migrate
php artisan modularous:build

Re-running install safely

modularous:install is idempotent — it detects existing config and migrations and skips them. Re-run it when you adopt Modularous in an existing Laravel app, or after upgrading to pick up new publishable assets.
