In this post we will install laravel framework . There are a few system requirements to install laravel framework as stated in laravel official website ,
- PHP >= 5.5.9
- OpenSSL PHP Extension
- PDO PHP Extension
- Mbstring PHP Extension
- Tokenizer PHP Extension
We need composer to install laravel and manage its dependencies , composer can be installed by following the steps in getcomposer.org website . Its better if composer is installed globally instead of locally.
After installing composer , laravel can be installed by running the following command in terminal ,
composer global require “laravel/installer=~1.1”
After successful installation of laravel , in the terminal run laravel command , it shows all the avaliable comands , options , usage and verion of the laravel installer.
Now , for creating a new project , in the terminal type laravel new projectname
Thats it we are ready to build something amazing 😉
