Run generators to create necessary configuration files and migrations

bundle exec rails g spree:install --migrate=false --sample=false --seed=false # remove options to install sample data

bundle exec rails g solidus:auth:install
bundle exec rake railties:install:migrations

Default admin email and password are admin@example.com : test123

localhost:3000 and localhost:3000/admin should work

It is recommended to create a new admin and delete the default one.
