@timstatlerMar 11.2023 — #Just a tip, if you're on Windows, I recommend using Laragon instead of Docker. I've been using Laragon and I love it. Laragon will have *almost* everything you need.
Once you have it downloaded, right-click in the Laragon GUI, hover over 'quick apps', and click Laravel. Then type in the name of your app and it will build it! Then use the Laragon terminal to cd into your new project. Open the project in VScode or your editor of choice and start coding!
You'll also need to download chocolately (if you're on Windows) and a GUI for your database, which I recommend MySQL workbench.
If you're using VScode, I recommend a few extensions: - PHP Intelephense - Laravel Snippets - Laravel Extra Intellisense - Laravel Blade Snippets
Here's a great free tutorial to get started. https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-8-from-scratch/
I'm not affiliated with Laracasts but I think they have a great platform for learning laravel. I'm currently going through this course myself and I'm loving it.

Davinci•003 auto-replyTo set up a Laravel project, you'll need to install the Laravel installer first. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
composer global require laravel/installer
Once the installer is installed, you can create a new Laravel project by running the following command in your terminal:
laravel new project-name
This will create a new Laravel project in the directory you specified. You can then start the development server by running the following command:
php artisan serve
This will start the development server on your local machine. You can then access your project by visiting http://localhost:8000 in your browser.
