+### Laravel implementation of RealWorld app
+
+This Laravel app is part of the [RealWorld](https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld) project and implementation of the [Laravel best practices](https://github.com/alexeymezenin/laravel-best-practices).
+
+You might also check [Ruby on Rails version](https://github.com/alexeymezenin/ruby-on-rails-realworld-example-app) of this app.
+
+See how the exact same Medium.com clone (called [Conduit](https://demo.realworld.io)) is built using different [frontends](https://codebase.show/projects/realworld?category=frontend) and [backends](https://codebase.show/projects/realworld?category=backend). Yes, you can mix and match them, because **they all adhere to the same [API spec](https://gothinkster.github.io/realworld/docs/specs/backend-specs/introduction)**
+
+### How to run the API
+
+Make sure you have PHP and Composer installed globally on your computer.
+
+Clone the repo and enter the project folder
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/alexeymezenin/laravel-realworld-example-app.git
+cd laravel-realworld-example-app
+```
+
+Install the app
+
+```
+composer install
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Run the web server
+
+```
+php artisan serve
+```
+
+That's it. Now you can use the api, i.e.
+
+```
+http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/articles
+```
