Installing Laravel on Linux OS[Easy Way]

So guys i'm very happy to post this article on installing laravel on Linux operating System. Laravel is basically a Model View Controller based framework of php. Let me tell you my own story i was quite frustated when i was working with php as it is so full of flaws and then i left php and started coding in ROR(Ruby on Rails) ... then after sometime i came across this fucking awesome framework of php[Laravel] and seriously friends i fell in love with laravel.. i can only say that laravel is the ruby on rails for php.

No more story! Now the geeky task of installing laravel on linux operating system! So there is basically two prerequisite find those article here 

1.) setting php in path !

2.) Installing super awesome dependency manager for php i.e composer! 

Follow both the tutorial and add php to path and install composer to the system next run this command to install laravel in your terminal

this command will basically install laravel installer into your system. You can use laravel installer by navigating into the following directory as shown in terminal

but it's a bad practice to navigate to the bin folder of composer and then run laravel installer to craft a application. So for this purpose we need to set laravel installer into our path. So for that purpose open terminal and type the following command!

This command will basically open /etc/profile in nano text editor like this 

add the following line at the end of the file to add laravel installer in your path.

Now press CTRL + O to save then CTRL + X to exit from the nano text editor.
Then reload the /etc/profile by using the following command 

and after that run the command laravel into your terminal like this!

So that's how we set up laravel installer and now we wanna craft a laravel application to start development so for that purpose run the following command in terminal as shown in the picture

So our laravel installer just crafted a laravel application named swapnil(as provided) .. So, now time has come to run this application and see it in the browser!

So i need you to locate into directory or application you just created i.e swapnil , and then run the following command to start the laravel's development server !
For this purpose we will use artisan a command line tool comes with laravel for webartisans :) 

type the following command for starting the laravel's development server!

now open the browser and hit the link shown in the terminal i.e. http://localhost:8000/

and magic see the beautifull laravel application  

That's it ! This is how you can install laravel on your system!
