To install and set up Laravel, you'll need to follow these steps:
Ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
- PHP >= 7.3
- Composer (Dependency Manager for PHP)
If you don't have Composer installed, visit the official Composer website (https://getcomposer.org/) and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.
Once you have Composer installed, you can use it to install Laravel. Open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command:
composer global require laravel/installer
This command will install the Laravel Installer globally on your system.
You can start Apache Server and MySQL using Xampp.
Navigate to the project directory:
cd project-name
To start a development server and run your Laravel application, use the following command:
php artisan serve
This command will start the development server, and you can access your Laravel application at http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
That's it! You've now installed and set up Laravel on your system. You can now start building your Laravel application.
