How to launch a LARAVEL Project

Run Laravel project: example of setting up, configuring & deploying app with artisan CLI.

Launching a Laravel Project

Launching a Laravel project is a relatively straightforward process. The first step is to install the latest version of Laravel. This can be done using the command line tool composer:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project_name

Once the Laravel project has been created, the next step is to configure the environment. This involves modifying the .env file in the root directory of the project. The file should be populated with the appropriate values for the application's database, cache, and other relevant settings.

Once the environment is configured, the project is ready to be launched. This can be done by running the following command from the project's root directory:

php artisan serve

This command will launch the application on a web server running on localhost. The application can then be accessed in a web browser by visiting http://localhost:8000.

Finally, the project is ready to be deployed. This can be done using a variety of methods, such as Heroku, Amazon Web Services, or DigitalOcean. Each method has its own set of steps that must be followed in order to successfully deploy the project.
