1) install a new laravel project
2) run:
$ npm install
3) npm run dev
# if errors, check your node js version:
$ npm install -g n
$ sudo n latest
4) npm run watch
# this will compile if you make changes to css and js automatically
5) you can include css and js files like:
<link href="/css/app.css" rel="stylesheet">
this is how the css and js files will be used when:
$ npm run production
<link href="{{ mix('/css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">
