Operating System : Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus)
Laravel : Laravel 5
To be able to create a simple Laravel project, here is the thing which is actually needed based on my trial and error :
- If you are installing or creating Laravel based web application from composer, off course you need a composer.
- Make sure that your user can create folder which is used for the Laravel web application based. In my opinion, since I use /var/www/html as the main or default root directory since I used Apache Web Server and the owner of that directory itself is www-data in this operating system, I have to register my username which is I currently login in order for the username itself is a member of www-data group so that I have enough privileges to write or to create a Laravel based web application project. To check whether the user is already part of the group or not, I try to execute the following command :
id username
username@hostname:/var/www/html$ id username uid=1000(username) gid=1000(username) groups=4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),33(www-data),46(plugdev),108(lpadmin),124(sambashare),125(vboxusers),134(libvirtd),1000(username) username@hostname:/var/www/html$
As we can see that the username has already part of www-data group.
- First of all, check your own composer whether it is already the latest version or not. But the composer itself will normally warn ourselves if it is being used to install utilities or packages whether it needs to be updated or not. Simply execute the following command to check the version :
composer --version
username@hostname:/var/www/html$ composer --version Composer version 1.2.0 2016-07-19 01:28:52 username@hostname:/var/www/html$
- Check whether your composer can be used to create a new Laravel based web application without any common problems by executing the following command :
composer diagnose
or you can just type the following :
composer diag
Below is the full output of the command :
username@hostname:/var/www/html$ composer diag Checking platform settings: OK Checking git settings: OK Checking http connectivity to packagist: Warning: Accessing packagist.org over http which is an insecure protocol.

- Execute the following command to create new Laravel based web application :
username@hostname:/var/www/html$ composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel test
