php-laravelHow do I quickly get started with Laravel using PHP?

1. Install the latest version of PHP and a web server such as Apache or Nginx.
2. Install Composer, the dependency manager for PHP.
3. Install Laravel using the Composer command composer create-project laravel/laravel myprojectname --prefer-dist
4. Configure the database connection in the .env file.
5. Generate a key for the application using php artisan key:generate
6. Start the development server using php artisan serve
7. Create a route in routes/web.php and a view in resources/views to test your setup.

Example code

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Output example

Laravel development server started: <http://127.0.0.1:8000>
