# Installation

Getting started with Laravel Ingest is simple. Follow these steps to integrate the package into your project.

First, add the package to your project's dependencies using Composer:

composer require zappzerapp/laravel-ingest

Next, publish the configuration file and database migrations. This will create config/ingest.php and the necessary migration files in database/migrations/.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LaravelIngest\IngestServiceProvider"

You can choose to publish only the configuration or the migrations by using the tags ingest-config or ingest-migrations.

Run the database migrations to create the ingest_runs and ingest_rows tables. These tables are essential for tracking the status and results of your imports.

php artisan migrate

That's it! Laravel Ingest is now installed and ready to be configured.
