Install

Install Capell into a new or existing Laravel app

Start with a fresh Laravel app when you want the shortest path. Use the existing-app path when you need to preserve current users, routes, data, and deployment habits. Capell should feel like a Laravel project gaining CMS features, not a separate platform taking over the site.

Based on the Capell install and quickstart docs.

capell.install
Composer Install core, admin, and frontend
Artisan Run installer, migrate, doctor
Public output Verify admin, frontend, cache
Fresh Laravel app

Use this for a clean evaluation.

Create the app, add Capell packages, install Filament, register the admin plugin, configure storage, compile the theme, run the installer, then verify the public page.

Existing Laravel app

Use this when the product already exists.

Inventory current routes, users, public pages, media, queues, and deployment rules before adding Capell.
