SO I used Softaculous which never asked me to enter my smtp setting for email.
I found file .env adn added my smtp settings . I use google apps so
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_USERNAME=my full email
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=my email
MAIL_FROM_NAME=name
MAIL_PASSWORD=password

I get message " There was a problem sending the emai"
I looked in my log file in /storage/logs/laravel.log
[2015-10-25 04:11:14] production.ERROR: Email Error: Connection could not be established with host smtp.gmail.com [Connection timed out #110]

I went to settings clicked on add new user . Entered information and email then clicked send invitation . I got message that invitation sent but i did not get any email. i put my email as a user to test it .

From the error in the log file I don’t think you’ll be able to send invitations or emails.

There are some good suggestions to resolve the error in the following Stack Overflow question:

OK , I got it fixed . If you host invoice ninja on bluehost you can not use smtp.google.com.
You have to create email account in bluehost then use that settings . For Example

MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl
MAIL_HOST=boxXXX.bluehost.com
