1. once you clone the repo run composer fresh, it will run a batch of the starter commands.
2. Open the .env and configure it to work with what you need, namely the DB connection
3. Create a database matching the connection details in your .env
4. Create the db schema and seed it with random values with composer mfs
5. verify your setup is functional with php artisan self-diagnosis
6. Access the app through your preferred local web server setup (I like valet+ on macs & laragon on win... ghetto way: php artisan serve with sqlite db)

Tinker is the primary tool for testing queries, php logic, and debugging weird code... Basically your best friend. Open it with php artisan tinker. It's an interactive repl php shell that makes it quick & easy to dumbass proof your code.

Yu can run php artisan test to run all the test suites. Normally your IDE can be configured to run specific tests or all of them. Refer to specific IDE documentation.

Again, your IDE should recognize these tests and help you create a run configuration for those. To run everything from console use npm run test.

For PHP, make sure your install the XDebug PHP extension and configure it properly. I like to use remote autostart to avoid hassle and quickly debug my code.
