Afterburner Installer

Create new Laravel projects with Afterburner using a simple command.

Installation

composer global require laravel-afterburner/installer

Ensure Composer's global bin directory is in your PATH:

• macOS: ~/.composer/vendor/bin or ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin
• Linux: ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin or ~/.composer/vendor/bin
• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin

Usage

Create a new Afterburner application:

afterburner new my-app

This will:

1. Create a new Laravel project using the Afterburner template
2. Install all core dependencies
3. Set up the project structure
4. Optionally install add-on packages (Documents, Communications, Voting, Meetings, Playbook, Subscriptions) via interactive prompts after migrations

Add-on packages

During afterburner new, you can select:

• Documents — laravel-afterburner/documents ^1.0
• Communications — laravel-afterburner/communications ^1.0
• Voting — laravel-afterburner/voting ^1.0
• Meetings — laravel-afterburner/meetings ^1.0
• Playbook — laravel-afterburner/playbook ^1.0
• Subscriptions — laravel-afterburner/subscriptions ^1.0

Each selection runs composer require and the package install Artisan command (afterburner:voting:install, etc.).

To add packages to an existing app:

composer require laravel-afterburner/voting:^1.0
php artisan afterburner:voting:install

Next Steps

After creating your application:

cd my-app
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed --class=RolesSeeder  # Optional

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2
• Composer
• Laravel template repository accessible via Composer
