Now the beauty of Laravel is you don't have to out it in the root folder of your local server. Hell, Apache doesn't even have to be on. Just goto the folder where you want your laravel project. Open your command prompt and navigate to that folder.

---

Now type: 'Laravel new site'


Where 'site' is the name of the project.

Laravel begins to download all the project files for you...

After the download is done, navigate into the site folder with cmd by typing: 'CD site'


Now type: php artisan serve

You'll get a message saying: server started locally at http:// localhost:8000



So you can open you browser now at type the address you see. Congratulations, you just installed Laravel.




Chaiiiiii too much story and English. Abeg let me sleep. We'll continue tomorrow. Please drop your comments.

Some people must have noticed that I didn't talk about installing PHP first. Well I assume you already have PHP installed and added to your environmental variables.

If you don't have that, I can't fit to shout

After you've done that nonsense, you need to install Laravel now.

Open you command prompt (Sorry I'm only familiar with the windows OS. Guys with Mac and Linux should please check somewhere else on installation for their own OS). Paste the code.

composer global require laravel/installer

This will install Laravel for you

Installing Laravel

Well the first step to installing Laravel is installing a software called composer. It is the package manager for the PHP programming language. For my brethren and sistren in the python world, composer is to PHP what 'pip' is to python. And brothers from JavaScript world. It is what NPM is to JavaScript.

Chaii too much story.

To get composer, go-to https://getcomposer.org/download/

Download and install it.

Oooh lest I forget, if you have any questions or corrections fill free to ask or contribute . I'm also open to DM on 08097218247......
Well that's enough talking. Let's get into it.

I must warn you though. Before you continue, make sure you understand PHP at least to an intermediate level. By that I mean you must understand the concept of Object Oriented programming(OOP) and MVC.

If you don't understand OOP, abeg go and learn it, if you don't understand MVC, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller ,
read that.

It also goes without saying that you must have a good grasp of HTML and CSS. I don't know if I should say JavaScript. But hey what modern web app is built without JavaScript.

First and foremost I would like to tell u about Laravel.

Laravel is a PHP framework used to build websites and Web apps . It was developed by a dude named Taylor Otwell.



See the way I'm even saying it as if I will really start narrating story. Abeg even me self will skip it if I'm the one.

Hello everyone who cares. Welcome to this thread on Laravel tutorial.

Wait... Who are these old women deceiving with those ages?

ChukwuSolomom:

I'm very passionate about web development and I've learnt web design on WordPress and Dreamweaver but I want to further my education on any IT school in Nigeria (Portharcourt precisely). Which school would you recommend for quality education? I tried leaning php, mysql and javascript myself but it seems a bit confusing and I'm sure I need someone who understands better so please help me out

what you need is to look for a training center or a private teacher

Whether he forced her or not it is still a rape since she is very underaged.

I need a serious minded person to create and host a website for me for #20k. Hosting must be for one

No serious minded person will do that. Both you and the person will suffer it.

teshiam:
Thanks.. Is PHP easily hackable?

PHP Is Just A Scripting Language That Is Interpreted By Your Server. I Don't Think It's Right To Say The Language Is Hackable. You Web Application Though Could Be Hackable Depending On The Loopholes You Leave. So I Would Say It All Depends On Your Algorithm.

amulet:
try downloading youtube videos involving project-work on php and mysql it enables you to practice everything you've learnt from w3school and other youtube videos you've watched.

Thank You. My Point Exactly.

I Taught An Economics Student With No Prior Knowledge In PHP In 6 Days. And I Am Not Talking About The Additional Crash Course I Gave Him In Hosting. He Picked Because He Was Committed. I Really Am Tired Of Nigerian Mentality. Sure, You May Not Be Like Zuckerberg When U Start, But You'll Be Good To Go.

bearnana:
Whats wrong with people and learning how to code "the fast way" You CANNOT learn programming in 6 days!!! Its practically impossible. Even if you were a savant, you would have to implement what you have learnt and there is a huge mountain of logic that you would have to conquer.

My apologies to the OP if 'I have spoil market'...

If You Are Committed U Can. I Learnt And Wrote A Fully Functional Qbasic App In 4 Days, Before Which I Had No Knowledge. So Don't Think Because You Can't Means Someone Else Can't. And FYI You Haven't Spoilt Anything. You Are Forgiven For Your Ignorance.
