Last update: 04-23-2024

Creating a new Laravel project in a new subfolder:

composer create-project laravel/laravel new-subfolder-name

Creating a new Laravel project in the current folder:

composer create-project laravel/laravel .

• The dot at the end specifies that Laravel should be installed in the current directory

• The folder has to be empty! Otherwise Composer will return the error:

  Project directory "/your-dir-name" is not empty
