1. install xampp
2. install laravel from the command prompt by using the command line which is given below
composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project-name
composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project-name
–-prefer-dist
composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project-name 5.8.*
5. use PHP's built-in development server, you may use the serve
Artisan command:
php artisan serve
By default the HTTP-server will listen to port 8000. However if that port is already in use or you wish to serve multiple applications this way, you might want to specify what port to use. Just add the --port argument:
php artisan serve --port=8080
Make sure to place Composer's system-wide vendor bin directory in your $PATH
so the laravel executable can be located by your system. This directory exists in different locations based on your operating system; however, some common locations include:
macOS: $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin
Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin
GNU / Linux Distributions: $HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin or $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin
You could also find the composer's global installation path by running composer global about
and looking up from the first line.
Once installed, the laravel new
command will create a fresh Laravel installation in the directory you specify. For instance, laravel new blog
will create a directory named blog
containing a fresh Laravel installation with all of Laravel's dependencies already installed:
laravel new blog
