# Things to do after a fresh laravel install

**[Community Picks](https://daily.dev/sources/community)** · 2 min read · 139 upvotes · 8 comments

## Summary

When setting up a fresh Laravel installation, consider using the Laravel installer for a streamlined process, including selecting a starter kit such as Inertia/React or Livewire Volt with Class. Recommended packages for enhancing your Laravel setup include Laravel-error-solutions, laravel-schedule-monitor, laravel-env-keys-checker, and tighten/duster. Configuration tips include addressing the n+1 query problem and ensuring JSON responses for API routes in Laravel 11 and above. Example configurations for tlint, pint, and package.json are shared for better project setup.

> This is very interesting but it would be nice to see the explanation as to why some of this should be done. No clue what tlint and pint are and why I should bother.

> The N+1 solution is interesting but might be nice to know why/how it works and what the consequences of doing it are. We sometimes struggle with N+1 queries and a 1 line solution seems too good to be true without any regressions.
