Laravel 5.x Cookbook

Chapter 1. Setting Up and Installing Laravel

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Setting up Homestead

  • Setting up composer and PHP on your local machine for faster Workflows

  • Using .env for your local build

  • Using sequel pro and connecting to local and remote databases

  • Setting up your first application in Homestead

  • Setting up Gulp and Elixir

Introduction


In this chapter, we will cover installing and setting up Laravel and Homestead. As I have often said in this book, the online Laravel docs are great, and I will refer to them as needed. This book should be regarded as a complement to the official documentation, expanding on the explanations found there and adding some tips and tricks for everyday use. Also, I will show a number of shortcuts to help speed up your workflow. Finally, I will touch on Gulp and Elixir.
