I have a new laptop and I'm trying to install Laravel via composer.
I usually use PhpStorm wizard to create new projects.
For some reason it keeps failing to install Laravel on my new device, I've installed PHP via wamp and git and composer.
I've no idea what is wrong.
Here is my PHP & git
What you should do is remove your composer directory and run composer install again.
I saw that your autoload failed to load which can cause this issue.
This is probably because you changed the directories.

I'm new to Laravel. I am trying to download this project and build from git(https://github.com/johndavedecano/PHPLaravelGymManagementSystem). But i am getting the below error when i run composer install from cmd.
I'm using XAMPP on windows.
It's permission issue, your project vendor folder read/write permission add
I am trying to install BowerPHP in my Laravel framework project on my computer using Composer. I have used the composer require "beelab/bowerphp 0.3.*#beta" command in the command prompt but I'm receiving errors:
Can only install one of : symfony/process[v2.7.9,v3.0.2]
Can only install one of : symfony/process[v2.7.8,v3.0.2]
Can only install one of : symfony/process[v2.7.7,v3.0.2]
etc.
From what I understand my framework already has a version of Symfony and I cannot download another package. In addition, the package that I have is not compatible with BowerPHP. What do I do? And am I correct?
So I found the answer. The beelab team did not update their own website but did update their github page. running the composer require beelab/bowerphp:1.0.*#dev would work but running the on on their website would not.
i am lost...
i am trying to do it the right way and am following the Quick Start Guide for installing cakePHP 3 on my ubuntu machine.
Got composer installed. Directory is /var/www/cakephp
and am trying to issue:
php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app mayapp
or
composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app may app
then i am simply getting:
[InvalidArgumentException]
Could not find package cakephp/app with stability stable.
i do not have a clue what i am doing wrong. Any suggestions?
cakephp/app exists on https://packagist.org, and the command looks ok to me.
Which PHP version are you using? That package is only available with PHP 5.4.16 or later, so you must update if you want to use CakePHP.
However, it is a good idea to only use the same PHP version of your public hosting, using a newer version will lead to problems when deploying your code. If your webspace or public server does not have the latest PHP 5.6 running, ask for an update.
I got same issue. But, as previous answer, myapp does not exists on packagist.org, so, you must use laravel/laravel instead, and, after created, rename the new laravel folder to your desired name and move to htdocs (for xampp) or www (for wamp), then, and I do not know why, go to : localhost/laravel/public/
and replace laravel with the name you gave to your project folder instead the laravel one.
You will see Laravel 5 fonts will appear on screen.
That's means Laravel is running.
Hey Please try these steps.
Download XAMPP Server.
Install XAMPP server.
Go to ..\xampp\php\php.ini and open.
Add this line (extension=php_intl.dll) or if exist uncomment.
Download Composer setup from https://github.com/composer/windows-setup/releases/
Install composer and give php.exe file in path
Open cmd and check now php version using command php -v. if its showing php version its means its working.
Now open cmd and cd on xampp\htdocs folder & run command composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app app_name
Finished folder created in htdocs.
Hope this is helpful for you.
I just started my laravel course with laracast. I dont quite understand yet all the enviornment-related things.
I know that Composer is a kind of a program that downloads pre-written scripts to use in your project. But where does it work? On my local machine or on my vagrant homestead box VM? On which of these is it supposed to be installed?
I installed myself vagrant homestead box already but does it contain composer? When I go ssh into my guest machine and go to vagrant#homestead:/vagrant$ path I can see composer.json and composer.lock files, but does it mean that I have composer installed?
Composer is a PHP package manager, like npm for javascript or pip for python. There are many examples of package managers. It's useful, because adding dependencies to your php projects can be a pain, but composer makes it really easy. You just add the dependency to composer.json and you can use it right off the bat.
Composer isn't laravel specific, you can use it in any php project, laravel uses it to manage it's dependencies, laravels dependencies use it to manage their dependencies and so forth.
If nothing else, the composer autoloader is great, so you can use it even if you don't plan on using external packages.
Homestead should come with composer installed. A composer.lock file is generated when you run a composer install or composer update. If you plan on creating or using other php projects on your machine, it's probably a good idea to have composer installed on your machine as well.
I am new to Laravel, I have installed the Laravel on my localhost using
WAMP server but I am getting an error after all steps.
The errors are:
( ! ) Warning: require(C:\wamp\www\laravel/../bootstrap/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\laravel\index.php on line 21
( ! ) Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'C:\wamp\www\laravel/../bootstrap/autoload.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in C:\wamp\www\laravel\index.php on line 21
I have used below link for Laravel installation
http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Laravel-Framework-in-Windows
I have tried to debug the issue but haven't found success in the installation.
Please let me know what is missing in installation.
You need to install Composer, open up the command prompt and cd to your directory (or hold Shift while right-clicking on your directory and clicking Open command window here) and there run composer install.
You can simplify the Laravel installation with Composers create-project command.
composer create-project laravel/laravel path
Laravel dependencies are not installed yet. That is why it is giving you this error.
https://getcomposer.org/download/
Go to this link and download composer if you haven't already.
Move the composer file to /usr/bin and rename it to just composer.
Go into the root directory of your laravel application. And run:
composer update
This will install and update all required dependencies.
In case you are on windows, which is less likely, but if you are, just download and install composer via the installer and issue the same command in you project's root directory.
Composer is PHP's dependency manager.
In the root directory of your laravel installation you will find a composer.json file. It contains the list of all your project's dependencies. If you ever need to install a package in your project, it becomes very easy. You just have to edit the composer.json file and let it know which package you need. Issuing composer update will install new package listings and update all existing ones.
just to be clear I'm not big fan of wamp.
I've just took quick look at the
http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Laravel-Framework-in-Windows
and I suppose laravel framework is not going to work best with point 11 to 14 modifications.
Baseline for laravel to work is you need to http serve /public folder in a properly configured environment (after composer install and create-project as described earlier).
If you want to take full advantage of laravel you need to often cli `php or composer (at least)` efficiently.
While using laravel I suggest installing PHP and MYSQL yourself from scratch (it really takes few minutes) and using convenient IDE (like PHPSTORM for example).
Nowadays PHP has builtin http server, so you don't need any http server in your dev environment.
So in Windows:
Install PHP and enable required libraries in php.ini
Install and configure local mysql server (easiest way installing via MySQL installer)
Start development server by invoking php.exe -S localhost:80 -t "absolute-path-to-your-laravel-installation\public" like for example C:\htdocs\laravel\public via commandLine
Enter url in your favorite browser http://localhost
Hope that will help to get you started.
