   cd school-management-app

2. Install PHP dependencies

   composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

3. Install & build frontend assets

# Skip admin user creation
php artisan school:install --skip-admin-creation

The command will interactively ask for:

• Database connection (MySQL / PostgreSQL), host, port, name, username, password
• Application URL
• Administrator name, email, and password

Option C — Manual Installation

If you prefer full control over each step:

# 1. Clone & install dependencies
