Next, add it to your Elixir-enhanced Gulpfile, like so:

var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');

require('karl456-laravel-elixir-livereload');

elixir(function(mix) {
   mix.livereload();
});

Live reload also uses a script file so add the following to your blade templates.

@if ( Config::get('app.debug') )
  <script type="text/javascript">
    document.write('<script src="//localhost:35729/livereload.js?snipver=1" type="text/javascript"><\/script>')
  </script>
@endif

That's it! You're all set to go!
