Download source code except vendor casus it's extra. Install php and composer. Then use a terminal(cmd in windows) and go to your project and run composer install. Wait till downloading packages complete. For running project type php artisan serve and your project is up. If your project had migrations and I think it has actually, run php artisan migrate before running serve command. Also check .env file in the root of project and change database credentials with your own. Depending on what dbms that project uses, you should install that DBMS too. Good luck
