Step 1: Install Composer

Composer is a PHP dependency management tool. We first need to install Composer. In Windows, you can download the installation package directly from the official website (https://getcomposer.org/), and then follow the instructions to install it; in Linux and Mac, you can run the following code through the terminal to install:

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'e0012edf3e80b6978849f5eff0d4b4e4c79ff1609dd1e613307e16318854d24ae64f26d17af3ef0bf7cfb710ca74755a') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

Step 2: Install Laravel

With Composer, we can easily install the Laravel framework. Enter the following code in the terminal:

composer global require laravel/installer
