   git clone https://github.com/coloredcow/civicrm.git

4. Change to project root directory

   cd civicrm

5. Create the WordPress config file (specify the correct database credentials)

6. Install WordPress and create admin

   wp core install --url=civicrm.test --title="CiviCRM" --admin_user=admin --admin_password=admin [email protected]

   valet link civicrm

8. Secure the virtual host

   valet secure civicrm
