Create new project in laravel

Here's a step-by-step guide to creating a new project in Laravel:

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/download/

Step 2: Create a new project

Open your terminal or command prompt 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

Once the project is created, navigate into the project directory:

cd project-name

Step 4: Install dependencies

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

composer install

This may take a few minutes to complete, depending on your internet connection and the speed of your computer.

Step 5: Set up the environment

Run the following command to set up the environment for your project:

php artisan key:generate

This will generate a unique encryption key for your project.

Step 6: Configure the database

Laravel comes with a default database configuration. You can configure the database settings in the config/database.php file. You can also create a new database and update the database.php file accordingly.

Step 7: Run the migrations

Run the following command to run the database migrations:

php artisan migrate

This will create the necessary tables in your database.

Step 8: Start the development server

Run the following command to start the development server:

php artisan serve

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

Step 9: Start coding!

You're now ready to start building your Laravel project! You can create new controllers, models, and views, and start writing your code.

That's it! You've successfully created a new Laravel project.
