composer --version

Once you have the Composer version displayed, you can create a new Laravel project by running the following command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel [project-name]

This command will create a new project directory with all of the necessary files for a Laravel project. Once the project has been created, you can run the following commands to get the project running:

cd [project-name]
php artisan serve

This will start the development server, which you can access from a web browser. You should see the welcome page for your new Laravel project, which will look something like this:

If you need to reinstall Laravel at any point, you can simply delete the project directory and repeat the steps above. You may need to delete the vendor folder as well, if it exists.

Reinstalling Laravel is a quick and simple process that can save you time and hassle. Using a package manager like Composer can make the process even easier and faster. Just make sure you have the necessary tools installed and you should be able to get your project up and running in no time.
