Install new laravel project

Here are the steps to install a new Laravel project:

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 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

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

Step 5: Configure the environment

Laravel comes with a default .env file that you'll need to configure. Open the file in a text editor and update the following settings:

• APP_NAME: the name of your application
• APP_ENV: the environment you're running in (e.g., local, staging, production)
• APP_KEY: a random key generated by Laravel (you can generate a new one using php artisan key:generate)
• DB_HOST, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD: your database settings

Step 6: Run the database migrations

Laravel comes with a set of database migrations that you'll need to run to set up your database. Run the following command:

php artisan migrate

This will create the necessary tables in your database.

Step 7: Start the development server

Run the following command to start the development server:

php artisan serve

This will start a development server that you can access by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.

That's it! You now have a brand new Laravel project up and running. You can start building your application by creating controllers, models, and views, and by writing routes in the routes/web.php file.
