Copy the application to web server publishing folder.
Change dir to the application folder in terminal and install necessary packages.

$ composer install

Make all files in the project are autoloaded.

$ composer dump-autoload

Open .env file to change the database setup and app url.

APP_URL=http://localhost

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST={database_address}
DB_PORT={database_port}
DB_DATABASE={database}
DB_USERNAME={username}
DB_PASSWORD={password}

$ php artisan db:seed

Change the configuration of Nginx. The following is an sample. Other web servers refer to https://laravel.com/docs/5.6#pretty-urls

server {
    listen       8088;
    server_name  localhost;

    root         /Users/PZT/Sites/laravel-appointment/public;

    access_log  /usr/local/var/log/nginx/laravel-appointment.access.log  main;

    location / {
        index  index.html index.htm index.php;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        autoindex   on;
        include     /usr/local/etc/nginx/php-fpm;
    }

    error_page  404     /404.html;
    error_page  403     /403.html;
}

Start the Nginx.
Default admin user is admin/123456, change the password after login. This user can not be deleted.
Once the .env has been modified, the web server needs to be restarted to take effect.
