setting up laravel project code example
Example 1: laravel installation from github
//Laravel installation from github
php -r "file_exists('.env') || copy('.env.example', '.env');"
composer install -q --no-ansi --no-interaction --no-scripts --no-suggest --no-progress --prefer-dist
php artisan key:generate
Example 2: create project command in laravel
Before starting this hope you installed composer dependancy manager for PHP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So if you want to create a project by name of 'first_laravel_app' in directory C:/xampp/htdocs/ then what you need to do is
Locate your project parent directory using cmd
>cd c:/xampp/htdocs
and fire this command
>composer create-project laravel/laravel first_laravel_app --prefer-dist
And its done, this is really easy and it also creates Application Key automatically for you.
