How do I transition from a Satis-based installation to a local installation?

First, follow the installation instructions for the "Spark Installer" package. Once the package has been installed, register your API token using the register command. If you do not have an API token, it can be generated from your Spark account dashboard on this website:

spark register token-value

Next, you should copy the Spark source directory from vendor/laravel/spark to /spark so that it resides in the root directory of your project. Once you have copied the files, you need to change the Spark dependency version in your composer.json file to @dev:

"laravel/spark": "@dev",

Finally, update your composer.json file to use a path repository for Spark. Once this has been completed, run the composer update command:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "path",
        "url": "./spark"
    }
],
