Create new laravel application

Here are the steps to create a new Laravel application:

Step 1: Install Composer

If you haven't already, install Composer, the PHP package manager, on your system. You can download it from the official Composer website: https://getcomposer.org/

Step 2: Create a new Laravel project

Open your terminal and run the following command to create a new Laravel project:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project-name

Replace project-name with the name you want to give your project.

Step 3: Change into the project directory

Navigate into the newly created project directory:

cd project-name

Step 4: Install dependencies

Run the following command to install the dependencies required by Laravel:

composer install

Step 5: Configure the environment

Create a new file called .env in the root of your project and configure your environment variables. You can use the .env.example file as a reference.

Step 6: Generate the application key

Run the following command to generate a new application key:

php artisan key:generate

Step 7: Run the migrations

Run the following command to run the database migrations and create the necessary tables:

php artisan migrate

Step 8: Start the development server

Run the following command to start the development server:

php artisan serve

This will start the server and you can access your application by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.

That's it! You now have a brand new Laravel application up and running.
