Step 1: Add laravel5 path repo for toddish/verify package

"repositories": [
 {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/industrious-mouse/Verify-L4"
  }
],

Step 2: Install via composer

> composer require bpez/infuse:5.*

Step 3: Add the ServiceProvider

// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    ...
    'Bpez\Infuse\InfuseServiceProvider' ,
] ,

Step 4: Add to middleware

// app\http\Kernel.php
protected $middleware = [
  ...
  'Bpez\Infuse\Middleware\InfuseBeforeMiddleware',
  'Bpez\Infuse\Middleware\InfuseAfterMiddleware'
];

Step 5: Configure auth file

// config/auth.php
...
'driver' => 'verify',
'model' => 'InfuseUser',
...
'password' => [
    'email' => 'infuse::emails.password',
    ...
  ],
...

Step 6: Publish Configurations & public assets & run migrations

> php artisan vendor:publish --provider="\Bpez\Infuse\InfuseServiceProvider" --tag=infuse_public --force
> php artisan vendor:publish --provider="\Bpez\Infuse\InfuseServiceProvider" --tag=infuse_config
> php artisan vendor:publish --provider="\Bpez\Infuse\InfuseServiceProvider" --tag=infuse_structure
> php artisan migrate --path="vendor/bpez/infuse/migrations"

Step 7: Add to composer.json

    ...
    "php artisan vendor:publish --provider="\Bpez\Infuse\InfuseServiceProvider" --tag=infuse_public --force"
],

Step 8: Add to .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
...
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} devicePixelRatio [NC]
    RewriteRule \.(?:jpe?g|gif|png|bmp)$ bpez/infuse/other/retinaimages.php [NC,L]

Step 9: Run infuse migrations

> php artisan migrate

Step 10: Add support to server retina images
