Installing Laravel on Windows Xampp


Installing Laravel is easy and few steps to follow and creating your own app is so easy too. Here I just give you very easy way to install laravel on your windows machine with Xampp (MySQL, PHP , Apache) Environment.  First make sure that you have installed Xampp on your localhost. Than install composer to initiate setup.

You can get windows composer from here. Than just download and install it.  than you have the following things to start installing laravel.

1. Xampp installed on windows pc or lap.

2. composer downloaded and installed it.

3. Make sure your system connected to internet.

 

Than your steps begins,

1. Open htdocs folder (C:/xampp/htdocs/ ). Than right click your mouse and there you will see some additional options as like shown in the following image. (Mine is windows 8).

composer_right_click

 There click Use Composer here. It will initiate  composer here. I mean a Dos-Command Prompt opens and path is already found in it,  and type the following command as like shown in the figure.

composer create-project laravel/laravel

composer_opened

 

Than it will start downloading laravel files from server. It appears like the following commands in it.

    I tried searching over internet on many sites on how to Install Laravel on Windows XAMPP. Most sites were giving too short answers or mixing up various methods in their explanation. But this one is the most precise and descriptive example I have ever found. Thank you so much. If you could post on how to install Laravel using phar file downloaded from github, that will really be helpful.

      Hi Ramsai,
      I am really glad to help you. Its your server settings error, check your server error log for more info, and i think , there is some clashes between your server security and permissions. Try there, if you cant get results give me a reply. else draft a mail with your error log and screenshot of your laravel error.
