### steps to set up saas-lms on cpanel hosting

* *upload the code to desired server location*

* *change the config file*
* config/helpers.php
* change the **vendor**`s value to config files name for example for config/lms.php to load set "vendor" => "lms"
* the config file is dynamically loaded in the `config/helpers.php` file . lets assume we want to load lms.php config file for the application then we have to set ` 'vendor' => 'lms'` in the `config/helpers.php` file
* emaple helpers.php file 

* now the necessary values have to be set in the lms.php file for the application to function properly
* config/lms.php
