What are the steps to install Media Library Pro in Laravel


To install Media Library Pro in Laravel, follow these steps:

1. Install the base Laravel Media Library package:


composer require "spatie/laravel-medialibrary"

2. If you have a license for Media Library Pro, install the pro version instead:


composer require "spatie/laravel-medialibrary-pro:^5.1.0"

3. Publish the Media Library Pro migrations and run them:


php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\MediaLibraryPro\MediaLibraryProServiceProvider" --tag="media-library-pro-migrations"
php artisan migrate

4. Add the route macro to your routes file to accept temporary uploads:

php
// routes/web.php
Route::mediaLibrary();

5. Set up the front-end by importing the provided CSS, either through Vite or directly in your Blade/HTML templates.

6. Optionally, schedule the command to automatically delete old temporary uploads:

php
// in app/Console/Kernel.php
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    $schedule->command('media-library:delete-old-temporary-uploads')->daily();
}

The key steps are installing the pro package, publishing and running the migrations, setting up the routes, and integrating the front-end CSS. Make sure to follow the instructions carefully, as some steps may vary depending on your Laravel version.[3][5]
