• Run composer install (If command npm is not found please read https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md),
• Run php artisan key:generate to generate APP_KEY in the config file,
• Run php artisan config:cache to clear cache in order to apply changes in the config file,

Usage

• Result of the import from queue you can check in the log file /storage/logs/laravel.log.

Sample data for import

• test-100-books.xml - 100 books
