OpenAI Codex PHP environment setup for Laravel

codex.sh

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://php.new/install/linux)"
export PATH="/root/.config/herd-lite/bin/:$PATH"
composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate --seed --force -n
npm install
npm run build

Thanks for this script. How do you deal with the DB? I'm not managing to get mysql nor sqlite working out of the box on codex. Did you add a special feature somewhere else?

Additionally, why npm install and not npm install --no-save (which would avoid merging problems, no?) and why composer install and not composer install --no-interaction --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader (which has less chance in getting blocked)? Just asking to learn and to see whether it can be improved.
