Laravel Installation
  Via Laravel Installer   First, download the Laravel installer using Composer:  composer global  require  "laravel/installer"   Make sure to place the  $HOME / . composer / vendor / bin  directory (or the equivalent directory for your OS) in your $PATH so the  laravel  executable can be located by your system.   Once installed, the  laravel new  command will create a fresh Laravel installation in the directory you specify. For instance,  laravel new  blog  will create a directory named  blog  containing a fresh Laravel installation with all of Laravel's dependencies already installed:  laravel new  blog   Via Composer Create-Project   Alternatively, you may also install Laravel by issuing the Composer  create - project  command in your terminal:  composer create - project -- prefer - dist laravel / laravel blog
