GETTING STARTED WITH LARAVEL

Hi guys, So if you are here then you made your mind to get started with laravel and that’s a good thing. Installing Laravel is not a straightforward process since it is not a zip package or installer to head start with. Below are steps we need to follow to setup laravel.

• Download XAMPP
• Create GITHUB Account and Setup git on your local machine
• Install Composer
• Clone Laravel 4
• Create a test database
• That’s it run it now

Feel free to jump video sections if you have already did it .

Below you can find some code snips from video

Download XAMPP
