        laravel/laravel /tmp/laravel-tmp
    $ rsync -au --remove-source-files /tmp/laravel-tmp/ /var/www/html/
    ```

5. Install the composer packages and create an app key

    ``` shell
    $ reward shell

    $ composer install

    $ php artisan key:generate --show

    # Add the previously generated key to your .env file with your favourite editor
    # It should be added using the following format
    APP_KEY=base64:yourkey

    # Import the new .env content to the runtime environment variables
    $ source .env

    # Generate your config cache
    $ php artisan config:cache
    ```
