Installing Laravel with Sail

  1. –

    There are a number of ways to install Laravel, though a quick and easy way is

  2. –

    to create a

  3. –

    new project via the Composer command line utility, some more robust methods

  4. –

    like using

  5. –

    sale at Dockerbase solution.

  6. –

    As I'm working on a brand new machine, I'm going to go with sale.

  7. –

    Before working with sale, be sure to install Docker.

  8. –

    The easiest way to do this is by using Docker Desktop on macOS.

  9. –

    So if you don't have Docker installed on your machine, pause this video and go

  10. –

    do that before

  11. –

    continuing.

  12. –

    Back on the Laravel docs, if we go to the get and start with the macOS section,

  13. –

    we

  14. –

    see this command here for creating a new Laravel up on the command line.

  15. –

    Before running this however, I want to go back to the top and I want to go to

  16. –

    choosing

  17. –

    your sales services section.

  18. –

    Here it shows you all the different services you can install using sale.

  19. –

    Our needs are pretty minimal, so we're going to choose MySQL for the database

  20. –

    and mail

  21. –

    pit to be able to preview any email sent by our application.

  22. –

    So our final command looks like this.

  23. –

    I've chosen a project named LaraFlix, I've added Maya, Square, and Mail Pit as

  24. –

    services.

  25. –

    I've also changed directory into a sites directory on my computer.

  26. –

    This is personal preference and you're free to create the project in whichever

  27. –

    directory

  28. –

    you usually do.

  29. –

    Run the command.

  30. –

    Once the command is complete, run these two commands.

  31. –

    We should be able to go to a local host in the browser and see the Laravel bulk

  32. –

    and

  33. –

    page.

  34. –

    And there we have it.

  35. –

    We've created a new Laravel project and we're serving it using Laravel sale.
