Install DBngin
Almost every Laravel application needs a database to persist data, DBngin is free management tool, it works with mysql
redis
, postgres
and more, it also install the engine needed for you so you do not need to worry about more installation process, just download from here:
Install TablePlus or SequelPro

Install Laravel installer
To create new projects easily with Laravel you can download the laravel installer:
composer global require laravel/installer
Place Composer's system-wide vendor bin directory in your $PATH
Change the bash_profile file:
If you are using bash in your terminal, run these commands:
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
If you are using zsh run these commands:
echo 'PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}
export PATH' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
Then you are able to create new project with Laravel on terminal easily, inside your "Developer" directory type:
laravel new example
Then it creates a new laravel project as "example" inside your "Developer" folder.
You should double check by deleting the terminal session and start a new one, create another example project, just to check that the laravel installer works.
Visit your site
Now you can go to the browser and type: example.test
and you will find your corresponding laravel project.

Optionally you can add flags to the laravel new example
command, like:
laravel new example --git
creates the project and initialize a git file.laravel new example --github
creates the project, the git repo and a corresponding private github repositorylaravel new example --github="public"
, the same but creating a public github repository.laravel new example --github --organization="your-github-organization-name"
it creates the project, initialize git, and creates the corresponding private repository on github organization.laravel new example --jet
creates a laravel project with jetstreamlaravel new example --jet --teams
creates a new laravel project with jetstream and teams feature.
This are some examples of the laravel installer command flags.
