• 4 Install Laravel globally (https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/installation)

  Code Block
  composer global require laravel/installer

• Add Laravel to global path by adding this line to .bashrc file

  Code Block
  export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

• 5 Switch to a Windows system code folder

  We want to create our code in Windows system, not WSL, so that we can access and edit the code using editor or IDE, and serve the project to localhost and open it on browsers in Windows system.  One good option is the GitHub folder.

  Code Block
  cd /mnt/c/Users/<netID>/Documents/<folder>

   

  • Set up an alias in .bashrc so that you don't have to type the command each time

    Code Block
    alias <name>="cd /mnt/c/Users/<netID>/Documents/<folder>"

• 6 Start your first Laravel project and serve it

  Code Block
  laravel new <project>

  Local Development Server

  If you have PHP installed locally and you would like to use PHP's built-in development server to serve your application, you may use the serve Artisan command. This command will start a development server at http://localhost:8000:

  Code Block
  php artisan serve
