How to install Laravel's Artisan?

Artisan is bundled with the Laravel framework, so you don't need to install it separately. You just need to install Laravel itself. Here's how:

  1. First, make sure that you have PHP and Composer installed on your machine. Laravel 11 requires PHP 8.2 or higher and Composer to be installed.
  2. Next, open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you want to install Laravel.
  3. Run the following command to install Laravel:
bash
composer create-project laravel/laravel myproject

This will create a new Laravel project in a directory called "myproject". Replace "myproject" with the name of your project.

  1. After the installation is complete, navigate to the project directory:
bash
cd myproject
  1. You can now use Artisan by running the php artisan command in your terminal window.

For example, you can use the following command to view a list of available Artisan commands:

bash
php artisan list

To start the local development server, run:

bash
php artisan serve
