* You should setup a host on your web server for your local domain. For this you could also configure Laravel Homestead or Valet.
* If you want use Redis as your cache driver you need to install the Redis Server. You can either use homebrew on a Mac or compile from source (https://redis.io/topics/quickstart).

cd council && composer install && npm install

2. Edit `config/council.php`, and add any email address that should be marked as an administrator.
3. Visit: `http://council.test/admin/channels` to seed your forum with one or more channels.
