Installing specific laravel version with composer create-project

To install a specific version of Laravel using the Composer create-project command, you can specify the version number after the package name. For example, to install Laravel version 8.0, you would use the following command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel=8.0 myproject

This will create a new directory called "myproject" and install Laravel version 8.0 in that directory.

Alternatively, you can use the --prefer-dist flag to install a specific version from a specific version from a specific distribution, like this: composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel myproject 8.0.x-dev

Note that this will install the latest version of 8.0.x , and you should use the correct version number or stability flag according to your requirement.
