oh, boy.įinally check if everything is installed OK and start you laravel project by typing “php artisan serve” and check your localhost in your browser if there is a laravel page. You can do it manual by typing npm install in your project directory. Don’ panic 🙂Īfter that PHPStorm asks if you want to install the npm dependencies. Now wait some time and your first laravel project will be installed. chose laravel/laravel as package, leave version on “default” to use latest Laravel version and just click create. You can add a new project by typing laravel new projectname but i prefer doing it on the IDE side, so i start up PHPSTORM and open a new Project. You can check your path with the command “PATH” and will get some like this result: Create a new Laravel-Project Now install Laravel by typing composer global require laravel/installer on your shell in your home directoryĪnd add %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin to your path. No options where installed with composer either.Ĭheck in your terminal shell if composer is available with the command composer -V Install Laravel

Make sure Composer finds your PHP-Directory from XAMP, which should be c:\xampp\php\php.exe but may differ in your setup and depends on the directory you installed XAMP first. Next i installed the current 64 bit version of Node.js from without any extras, following with the Windows Version of Composer from – First entry on this page is “Windows Installer”. To do this type “path” in your Windows search and start the system settings to add more directories to your path: Install Node.js and Composer That is needed to run laravel artisan and other php-based commands from the shell. Add your software to your environment pathĪfter installing XAMP i added php and mysql to the environment path of my user, so i can start php and the mysql command on every path i will be in my terminal.

If i want to test mail functionality later on i will use a real external mail server to be sure everything works as expected.

No TomCat, no Mailserver, no Statistics, no Perl, cause no other packages are needed for my Laravel and mySQL-Project. As said i only installed Apache, mySQL-Server and FakeMail. First i installed XAMP 64-bit-version from This package installs a web-server and a database-server, so the basics to do some nice online development in a local environment.
