Windows
For windows you probably wanna look at something like WAMP for your local server. You can also look at something like this https://github.com/cretueusebiu/valet-windows, I've tried it and it's alright, but requires some knownledge.
In the directory run the following commands.
npm install && composer install
Now in the project, there is a .env_example file, copy this file and name it .env,open it and change all the variables that need changing there (for the db, just create a new database and fill in the creds there).
When you've got your MySQL set up, run php artisan migrate in the project folder to create all the tables. This should generate the entire db structure for you.
With valet you can now run the following command valet link in the folder, this creates the needed server for you. You can then just easly checkout the website by visiting the following url in your browser.
