{% endhint %}

First, you need to install the necessary Node modules.
```html
npm i
```

```html
npm run build
```

```
**4. Run Taxido Laravel:**
Once you've finished all the previous steps, you can run the Taxido Laravel by adding following command.
```html
php artisan serve
```
When you start your Taxido Laravel project, it typically runs on the default port, you can access it by opening [127.0.0.1:8000 ](http://127.0.0.1:8000/)in your web browser.
**5. Run Taxido Installation Wizard:**
Once you open [127.0.0.1:8000 ](http://127.0.0.1:8000/)in your web browser, the Taxido installation wizard will appear.
Step 1: Before you proceed to the next step, make sure that the specified PHP extensions are installed on your system.
Step 2: Once all the required PHP extensions are installed, proceed to the next step to check permissions for specific folders to ensure they are allowed.
If permissions are not allowed for the mentioned folders, please allowed folder permissions and proceed to the license verification step.
Step 3: Before using the Taxido API, it's important to verify your Envato purchase license code.
Enter in your Envato username and the Taxido purchase code and click next button.
If you don't know where to find your purchase code, click here: [Where Is My Purchase Code?](https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202822600-Where-Is-My-Purchase-Code)
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Once a license is verified, it can't be used for another project. An Envato Purchase License can only be verified on one domain at time.
{% endhint %}
Step 4: Once the license has been verified, proceed to the database configuration step.
Enter the essential MySQL database credentials to connect the Laravel API to the MySQL database such as a database host, username, password, and database name.

* Ensure you're using the latest version of PHP, Composer and Node.js.
* Try deleting the "node\_modules" folder and "package-lock.json" file, then run npm install again.
* If the problem persists, consider re-downloading the theme from Codecanyon and retrying.
* If none of these steps work, you can create a support ticket for assistance.
