How to Run

Run this with root or sudo privileges:

sudo curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tauseedzaman/ubuntu-laravel-setup/main/script.sh | bash

Interactive Mode

In interactive mode, the script will prompt you before installing each package and allow you to enter the database configuration details.

curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tauseedzaman/ubuntu-laravel-setup/main/script.sh -o script.sh

sudo bash script.sh --interactive

Database Configuration

The script includes default database configuration values:

DB_HOST="127.0.0.1"
DB_PORT="3306"
DB_NAME="laravel_db"
DB_USER="laravel_db_user"
DB_PASS="laravel_db_pass"

You can modify these values within the script to match your desired database configuration.

Important Notes

• Ensure the script is run in a secure environment, as it involves setting up and securing a database.
• Verify that the required PHP extensions (php-xml and php-gd) are available for your PHP version.
