How to configure Laravel on a Windows computer system?

To set up Laravel on a Windows computer, you can follow these steps:

1. To install PHP for Laravel, you first need to download the appropriate version for your Windows from the official website (https://www.php.net/downloads.php) and follow the installation guide. Make sure to add PHP to the system environment variables.
2. To install Composer, Laravel utilizes it as a dependency manager for PHP. You can download the Windows installer from the official website (https://getcomposer.org/download/) and follow the installation wizard. Make sure to add the installation path of Composer to the system environment variables.
3. To install Laravel: Open Command Prompt (CMD) or PowerShell and navigate to the directory where you want to install Laravel. Run the following command to install Laravel:

composer global require laravel/installer

1. To create a new Laravel project: after installation, you can use the following command to create a new Laravel project:

laravel new project-name

Replace “project-name” with the project name of your choice.

1. To run a Laravel project: navigate to the newly created Laravel project directory and execute the following command to start the development server:

php artisan serve

You should now be able to access your Laravel project locally.

These are the basic steps to configure Laravel on a Windows computer. Please note that you may also need to configure a web server (such as Apache or Nginx) to work with Laravel projects. For more detailed configuration instructions, please refer to the Laravel official documentation (https://laravel.com/docs).
