Today starts my new series with Laravel. In this tutorial video, we will learn how to install and setup Laravel from the command line using Composer.

Installing Laravel is pretty straight forward and they good documentation but there are still some issues you could run into. Trust me. I know Laravel 8 is out, but I am sticking with 7 since more people would be more familiar with it and I have not used Laravel 8 too much. It can be upgraded to Laravel 8, but I don't feel I can currently teach something I am not familiar with. So, Laravel 7 it is.

During this video, I mention previous videos that are being used to get to where we are. They are listed below if you need to go back.
