store.your-domain.com for your specific frontend domain name or sub domain name, admin.your-domain.com for your specific admin domain or sub domain name and also same for your API domain as well.

 php artisan fastkart:install

During the installation, you'll be asked two questions:

1. Do you want to continue with the installation? If you say yes, Fastkart will continue to install.

2. Do you want to import in sample data? If you say yes, the sample data will be imported. If you say no, the installation will go ahead without adding any sample data.
