This package isn't on Packagist (yet), so to get started, add it as a repository to your composer.json file:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://github.com/llaski/laravel-preset"
    }
]

Next, run this command to add the preset to your project:

composer require llaski/laravel-preset --dev

Finally, apply the scaffolding by running:

php artisan preset builtbylarry

Update your composer packages:

composer update

Update your npm packages:

npm install

Create your tailwind config file

./node_modules/.bin/tailwind init

And of course, run the build process!

npm run dev

This package will add githooks to your setup, so ideally you would have already setup git for this project. If not, you'll have to run the following command to set the path to your githooks folder:

git config core.hooksPath githooks

Also note this command will need to be run for any other developers working on the project.
