Project Requirements:

Before installation, ensure your system meets the following requirements:

• Laravel Framework: Version 11.x is required for backend functionality. Ensure Composer is installed for managing the backend dependencies.
• Livewire: Version 3.x for building dynamic interfaces efficiently within Laravel.
• Node.js & NPM: Required for managing front-end packages and running build tools.
• DaisyUI: Latest compatible version for TailwindCSS, offering a vast collection of pre-styled beautiful UI components.
• A Database Engine: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or SQL Server—Laravel supports these out-of-the-box. Ensure the selected database is running before attempting to migrate the database.
• A Web Server: Such as Apache or Nginx, if not using Laravel's built-in server.
