composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel-test composer : It is a utility which is basically a dependency manager for PHP. It manages packages or libraries per project basis and it is in form of a command executed in a command line create-project : It is an additional command used to create new project laravel/laravel : The web-based framework which is used as the additional parameter of create-project laravel-test : The directory which is going to be created for the newly project
The above command must be executed in a command line which is represented with a bash prompt.
