# Installation

This guide will help you to install the package in your laravel project.

## Require package

The first thing to do is to install packet if it has not already been done.

```bash
composer require patchlevel/laravel-event-sourcing=1.0.0-beta3
```

## Configuration

Next you need to publish the event sourcing config file.
It will be published to `config/event-sourcing.php`

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag patchlevel-config
```
## Migrations

You can publish the migrations with the following command:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag patchlevel-migrations
```
And then run the migrations:

```bash
php artisan migrate
```
## Middlewares

Some features need a middleware to work properly.
You should add the middleware to your `bootstrap/app.php` file.

```php
use Patchlevel\LaravelEventSourcing\Middleware\EventSourcingMiddleware;

$app->withMiddleware(static function (Middleware $middleware): void {
    $middleware->append(EventSourcingMiddleware::class);
});
```
:::success
You have successfully installed the package!
You can now start using the event sourcing library in your laravel project.
Start with the [quickstart](getting-started.md) to get a feeling for the package.

:::note
This documentation is limited to the package integration.
You should also read the [library documentation](/docs/event-sourcing/latest).
