• Undertand basic git commands or know hot to copy/paste.
• Linux or Gitbash.

Create a new Virtual Enviroment

Lets start with a new Laravel Project, In this case I will create a new project inside a VirtualBox enviroment using Vagrant and my favorite Box called Scotchbox.

git clone https://github.com/scotch-io/scotch-box

Navitage inside the newly created folder "scotchbox"

cd scotchbox

Start your Virtual Machine

vagrant up

You can now visit http://192.168.33.10/ and you should see your virtual box running.

Create a new Laravel Project

First, lets open our virtual's machine SSH

vagrant ssh

Once you do this, you will be excuting commands inside a Virtual Machine, not your local machine

Navigate to public directory

cd /var/www/public

Make sure to update composer, (this will most likely prevent some errors)

composer global update

Create a new laravel Project

laravel new store

This will install Laravel automatically for you, download libraries, set enviroment file, etc

Laravel is up and running!

Navigate to http://192.168.33.10/store/public/ and you should see the default Laravel Page.

That was easy? What's next?
