Creating new laravel project

To create a new Laravel project, you can use the following steps:

Method 1: Using Composer

Open your terminal or command prompt.
Run the following command to create a new Laravel project:
```
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project-name
```
Replace project-name with the desired name of your project.

Method 2: Using Laravel Installer

Open your terminal or command prompt.
Run the following command to install Laravel:
```
composer global require laravel/installer
```
Once installed, navigate to the directory where you want to create your project and run:
```
laravel new project-name
```
Replace project-name with the desired name of your project.

Method 3: Using Laravel's Official Website

Go to the Laravel website (www.laravel.com) and click on the "Create a New Project" button.
Fill in the required information, such as project name, email, and password.
Click on the "Create Project" button to download the project files.

Common Options

When creating a new Laravel project, you can also specify some common options:

--prefer-dist: This option tells Composer to download the project in a compressed format, which can save time and disk space.
--dev: This option installs the project in development mode, which includes additional dependencies and tools for development.
--public: This option specifies the public directory for the project, which is where the project's public files will be stored.

Post-Installation Steps

After creating a new Laravel project, you'll need to follow these post-installation steps:

Change into the project directory:
```
cd project-name
```
Run the following command to install the project's dependencies:
```
composer install
```
Run the following command to generate the project's key:
```
php artisan key:generate
```
Run the following command to migrate the project's database:
```
php artisan migrate
```
Run the following command to seed the project's database (optional):
```
php artisan db:seed
```
Start the project's development server:
```
php artisan serve
```
You can now access your new Laravel project by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
