    Simexis\Installer\InstallerServiceProvider::class,
];

Usage

php artisan vendor:publish

You will notice additional files and folders appear in your project :

• config/installer.php : In here you can set the requirements along with the folders and files permissions for your application to run, by default the array cotaines the default requirements for a basic Laravel app.
• resources/views/vendor/installer : This folder contains the HTML code for your installer, it is 100% customizable, give it a look and see how nice/clean it is.
• resources/lang/en/installer.php : This file holds all the messages/text, currently only English is available, if your application is in another language, you can copy/past it in your language folder and modify it the way you want.
