Installing Laravel
Laravel is a web application framework developed in the Php programming language.
Laravel is based on the MVC(Model-View-Controller) pattern. It makes developing complex web applications easy.
Authentication, routing, sessions, and caching in particular are made easy in Laravel.
Let us start with installing Laravel in a Wamp Server installation on a Windows Machine.
1. Download Wamp Server from
The Wampserver site is at http://www.wampserver.com/en/
Install it after downloading. By default the Wampserver public html directory is at c:\\Wamp and we will assume that this is the case.
The Wamp server installation folder
Open the C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.40\. Open the php.ini file.
Look for the line with extension=php_openssl.dll on it and remove the ; before it if it exists.
The complete file is available at this location

Download Composer http://getcomposer.org/Composer-Setup.exe
Next step.
Before continuing please install git if you do not have it already.
