Create a new laravel project
To create a new Laravel project, you can use the following command in your terminal:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project-name
Replace project-name
with the name you want to give your project.
This command will create a new Laravel project in a directory with the same name as the project name you specified. The project will include the basic structure and files needed to start building your application.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
composer
: This is the command-line tool for managing your dependencies with Composer.create-project
: This is the command for creating a new project.--prefer-dist
: This option tells Composer to download the project in its most optimized form, which is a compressed archive.laravel/laravel
: This is the package name for the Laravel framework.project-name
: This is the name of the project you want to create.
Once the project is created, you can navigate to the project directory and start building your application.
Here's an example of what the command might look like:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel my-new-project
This would create a new Laravel project called my-new-project
in a directory with the same name.
Note: Make sure you have Composer installed on your system before running this command. If you don't have Composer installed, you can download it from the official Composer website.
