Introduction

Laravel is a framework for websites in the PHP programming language. It allows developers to rapidly develop a website by abstracting common tasks used in most web projects, such as authentication, sessions, and caching. Laravel 4, the newest version of Laravel is based on an older framework called Symfony, but with a more expressive syntax

Step by Step Laravel Install as follows:

For Users Who Recently Installed LAMP Stack (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP) Please install these before proceeding:

Preparing the server / environment


sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

Choosing the right PHP version

IF You Want: Preparation of installing PHP 5.4: This can be skipped if you are Ok with 5.3. Version


sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-oldstable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-cache policy php5

Installing LAMP if you not install
