Install Composer - is a dependency manager. Look for the line with extension=php_openssl.dll on it, and make sure that line has no semicolon on its front.ģ. Why? because Composer is run from the command-line, not inside WAMP, thus it will read the php.ini file inside C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16\ not C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin\. Because that setting edits the C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin\php.ini Which is NOT the php settings read by Composer, you should manually edit the C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16\php.ini instead. Most of the people thinks the proper way of enabling it is by clicking the WAMP icon, then going to PHP > PHP Extensions > php_openssl. It's a PHP extension that needs to be enabled before installing Composer. Configure OpenSSL - OpenSSL what? SSL means Secure Socket Layers, this will gonna needed by Composer to run properly. In case not yet, for God's sake please do. You probably knew about this one already.

Some people out there might know MVC from other frameworks, but these new tool is totally new for them, so in this post, we will try to smooth the learning curve a bit and make it easier to get started with this great framework.įirst thing first, before you open that command window and type composer commands and etc. This assumption makes it hard for beginners to penetrate Laravel. When you go to the QuickStart page of Laravel, one thing you will notice in the installation instruction is it has an assumption that you knew what is Composer and some advance knowledge of PHP.
