Per instructions at Packagist
What I've done:

laravel new elfinder

• No starter kit
• PHPUnit
• No .git
• mariadb

cd ./elfinder
composer require barryvdh/laravel-elfinder

sudo micro ./.env

set the environment like so:

APP_NAME=LaravelElfinder
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=base64:poihaspdoihwepoihgexxxxx654asax=
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_URL=http://localhost

LOG_CHANNEL=stack
LOG_DEPRECATIONS_CHANNEL=null
LOG_LEVEL=debug

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=atheat_laravel_elfinder
DB_USERNAME=myUser
DB_PASSWORD=myPass  
...

sudo micro ./config/app.php

app.php:171

+ Barryvdh\Elfinder\ElfinderServiceProvider::class

php artisan elfinder:publish

Note: Being inexperienced, I've disregarded "after each update" (because i haven't updated anything?) :

Remember to publish the assets after each update (or add the command to your post-update-cmd in composer.json)

Routes are added in the ElfinderServiceProvider. You can set the group parameters for the routes in the configuration. You can change the prefix or filter/middleware for the routes. If you want full customisation, you can extend the ServiceProvider and override the map() function.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider='Barryvdh\Elfinder\ElfinderServiceProvider' --tag=config

php artisan vendor:publish --provider='Barryvdh\Elfinder\ElfinderServiceProvider' --tag=views

(set Flysystem adapters for local disk ... not specified in the aforementioned instructions to edit this file, but it is there)

sudo micro ./config/elfinder.php

elfinder.php:28

    'local',

        'URL' => url('/storage/app'), 
        ],
    ],

expecting config is complete per instructions up to the optional Glide config...

php artisan serve

commenting out the 'URL' (as added for 'my-disk' =>) in elfinder.php the app will "run", but I get a server 500 error.

http://127.0.0.1:8000/elfinder/connector?_token=l1YAJqiImQ9P7lbEkAjmenbYJmbIWOLgBfct7z98&cmd=open&target=&init=1&tree=1&_=1707686639917 500 (Internal Server Error)

I did get it to run one time, and was able to darg-drop images, and create and edit text files. so, i know it works on this system. also not very experienced with Laravel, so i'm stumped.
