Install laravel using Composer (eg: to create a project named connexion: laravel new connexion)
Change to the project folder created and fix permissions on bootstrap and storage folders:

sudo chmod -R 777 storage
sudo chmod -R 777 bootstrap

Check the Laravel installation is running properly before proceeding.
Add the bookclub package to composer.json
Run composer update in the project folder, which will pull in the package and its dependencies
Add your database credentials to .env

Still early days for this package - under heavy development
