Laravel install in localhost

Question

I am using windows 8 .I am using XAMPP.I installed XAMPP in D drive. My web root path is D:\php\htdocs. Location of php.exe file is D:\php\php. I would like to install Composer first then Laravel using composer. Could any one show me the whole process with step by step instruction ??

There are plenty of guides for this available. Personally I think you should use Laravel Homestead laravel.com/docs/4.2/homestead — Laurence

Seconding Homestead - it's far and away the easiest way to get Laravel up and running on Windows. Basically, it's a virtual machine running on Linux but you can work directly on the files in Windows (gross oversimplification). — patricksweeney

Yeah, Composer will work fine with Windows, but it's a little bit more involved and everything just works better with Homestead. — patricksweeney

Add Php installation path to Environment Variable.
Cd to D:\xampp\php [Php Installation path]
Install composer using, php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
Create composer.bat file, using D:\xampp\php>echo @php "%~dp0composer.phar" %*>composer.bat
Check the installation using composer -V.
If it works fine, install laravel using the following command. composer create-project laravel/laravel myapp --prefer-dist

Thanks @Jeno Karthic for your reply. I used Environment Variable like this D:\php\php. I followed your instruction. But my problem is it creates project in D:\php\php not in htdocs.

now you need to CD(change directory) to your required folder. (D:\php\htdocs in your case) & Run the composer. It will work fine now.

Thanks @Jeno Karthic. I tried your instruction but failed. Moreover my pc does not recognize this command.(composer create-project laravel/laravel myapp --prefer-dist). I used this command php composer.phar create-project laravel/laravel myapp --prefer-dist. Thanks

Have you added the Php installation path(php.exe) to system's environmental variable PATH. Where Composer.phar file is present

What's happening when you run 'php composer.phar' from php installation location

Download and run the Composer Windows Installer from here: https://getcomposer.org/download/
Go to web root directory D:\php\htdocs
Run composer create-project laravel/laravel myapp, this will install laravel project in D:\php\htdocs\myapp directory.
