Setup wizard

Open /install on a fresh install. The wizard has four steps and blocks itself from running again once finished.

Step 1 — Verify license

Paste the purchase code you received by email. The wizard:

1. POSTs the key, product slug and current domain to https://api.pcreative.dev/api/license/activate.
2. The issuer signs an RS256 JWT and returns it.
3. Aurora Travel verifies the signature locally against the embedded public key (offline-capable).
4. The JWT is stored at storage/app/private/.pcreative-license.jwt and mirrored to setup_state.license_jwt.

There is no accept provisionally fallback — if the issuer is unreachable or the JWT fails verification, the wizard refuses to continue.

Step 2 — Test database

The wizard runs a quick SELECT 1 against the configured connection. If it works it advances to migrations; if it fails you see the underlying driver error so you can fix the connection string.

Step 3 — Run migrations

Executes php artisan migrate --force followed by the DemoSeeder for an out-of-the-box demo. You can skip the seed step on a production install — none of the runtime depends on demo rows.

Step 4 — Create admin

Enter name, email and password for the first administrator account. The user is created with email_verified_at = now() and assigned the admin role through Spatie Permission.
