Backpack-for-Laravel installation is hanging at 'Creating users table'

Question

After running composer (require backpack/crud) and then

php artisan backpack:install

the installation freezes at Step 1: Creating users table. The status stays as RUNNING forever.

My environment is PHP 8.3.1, Laravel 10.48.4.0, and the two backpack package modules (/basset, and /crud) are 1.3.0 and 6.7.1 respectively.

What do I do/where do I look to solve this problem?

Thanks/Tom

First, you need to check your database server is working correctly, and you have to configure the .env first. If you still have a problem, you can try the manual process https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/6.x/crud-how-to#how-to-manually-install-backpack
