The tools that I used for coding and testing are:
- Laravel 5: Laravel is a Php framework that use the MVC (model ,view ,controllers) paradigm in developing web application
- Xampp 5.6.3
- Visual Studio Code- text editor.
- Git
Below is an installation guide:
1. Make sure you have Xampp or Wamp installed in your machine, Laravel 5, Git and composer need also be already installed.
2. Open bash on the root folder and type : “ php artisan serve”, of which will start a Laravel development server on the local host at port 8000
3. Afterwards, start apache
4. Open PhpMyAdmin by going to the URL http:localhost/phpmyadmin
5. Create new database titled e-voting
6. Then import the database file (e-voting.sql) from the data_base folder.
7. Finally, the system is accessed by typing in the url: localhost:8000
