laravel install, again

brew.md

First, uninstall any PHP/apache deps you might have previously installed. Do a brew list and look for any matching packages.

brew tap shivammathur/php
brew install shivammathur/php/php@8.2
brew link --force --overwrite shivammathur/php/php@8.2

brew tap shivammathur/extensions
brew install igbinary@8.2 msgpack@8.2 redis@8.2 xdebug@8.2

I recommend using a tool like fnm to manage your node versions, but if you don't really care: purge your existing nodejs installation (if any) and brew install node.

FAQs

You're free to use any IDE, vscode and phpstorm are good options. vscode has extensions specific for PHP + Laravel.

• Composer is PHP's package manager, you'll need it to install dependencies.
• Node is required and used for frontend asset compilation only.
• There is no Apache or separate server to run. PHP (the cli tool, php) has a built in server. See https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php for more info.
• Artisan is the main "cli" tool for Laravel. Run php artisan for a list of commands.
• To start the web server: php artisan serve

I recommend using a tool like fnm to manage your node versions, but if you don't really care: purge your existing nodejs installation (if any) and run the following.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | bash - \
    && apt install -y nodejs

If you've skipped this step, just make sure your node version is 20.x.
