If you're using windows I'd recommend using MYSQL for your database you can reference documentation online to understand how to get this setup.

Once you've setup your MYSQL database you will need to run
copy .env.example .env in the terminal to create a .env file for your environment.

Inside of that .env file is where you will configure the connection to your database for your application.

Use the following to connect with your own credentials.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=YOUR_DATABASE_NAME
DB_USERNAME=ACCOUNT_NAME
DB_PASSWORD=ACCOUNT_PASSWORD


Once you've configured your database run

php artisan migrate

}

store.dispatch(Actions.VERIFY_AUTH, { api_token: JwtService.getToken() });
