Step 2: Install Laravel UI
Next, install Laravel UI and set up authentication with Vue.js:

Step 3: Configure Database Credentials
Update your .env file (located in the project root) with your database details:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_db
DB_USERNAME=root

Step 4: Run Migrations

php artisan migrate
Step 5: Start the Development Server

Step 6: Access the Application
Open your browser and visit:
http://localhost/dashboard_version/public/
This will take you to the login page, and your authentication system is now ready!
