Install laravel 5.3 in Ubuntu 14.04

Once again Laravel comes with many amazing features and i can't wait more to try this all out.

In this post i am going to write how to setup laravel 5.3 in Ubuntu 14.04.

I am planning on making video for each of this post. Here you can find more about installation of l5.3 on ubuntu

In laravel documentation, it says

• PHP >= 5.6.4

required to install laravel 5.3.

So first run following command on terminal:

• php -v

This will show you, your current php version.

As you can see, i have PHP version 5.5.9 , so i have to upgrade it to  >=v5.6.4

So to do this i have to run following commands:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install php5

Now if i check my updated php version i can see this :

So my php version updated as i needed.

Now i have to run following command to install new Laravel 5.3 setup

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel HighFive

So my installation is done.

Now i have to go to project directory and run following command

php artisan serve

Now if i go to browser and browse localhost:8000 , hurry laravel 5.3 is on..
