No idea how you're getting that directory in your server, Apache2 defaults to /var/www/html, but either way just follow the Laravel Installation guide using Composer. You shouldn't need many commands to install it after setting up a LAMP stack on your server

I am trying to setup Laravel using Composer through my command prompt but I am getting some errors.
I have already installed Composer and Xampp(php/mysql/apache) but I am still unable to install it. I have followed the exact instructions provide by the Laravel and followed other resources but I am still getting error.
I loaded up Laravel/Lumen on the new Homestead php7 box and encountered this error:
FatalThrowableError in MemcachedConnector.php line 51:
Fatal error: Class 'Memcached' not found
Doing a phpinfo(); shows there is no memcached extension, but sudo service memcached status says memcached is running. It seems there is a php7 branch for memcached here: https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached/tree/php7
Can anyone guide me on how to get it working in the new php7 Homestead VM?
EDIT: I just saw on the homestead install documentation that it says "Memcached (PHP 5.x Only)". Question still remains on how to get it working.
The work on php-memcached for PHP7 is not yet complete, not all tests pass; You can use everything but JSON serialization, I think.
There is no pecl support for PHP7, so right now you need to install extensions manually, like this:
git clone https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached
cd php-memcached
git checkout php7
phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install
You must make sure that phpize is the PHP7 version. Additionally, if the php in your PATH is not PHP7, then the php-config in your PATH is not either, in this case you must pass --with-php-config=/absolute/path/to/php7-config to ./configure.
I have the same problem, but on Windows when using XAMPP. It seems memcached works for now with PHP 5+ only.
The problem for Windows users is to find the right .dll file named
php_memcache.dll (x86/x64 platforms).
I've spent hours looking for a solution, but nothing found. The very fresh description how to use memcached is here:
HOW TO: Install Memcache on XAMPP (Windows 7/8/10)
We still have to wait for PHP7+ implementation.
I have ubuntu 14.04 and LAMPP is installed. I was learning Laravel 4, but get a lot of confusion on it's documentation, below I list few of issue.
How to install laravel?
what I did :
copy github repository into /opt/lampp/htdocs/larva and run composer install, Laravel is installed and I can access it with http://localhost/larva
What is homestead? is that another way to install laravel or this is additional thing?
What is artisan? if I use artisan then do we need to use homestead also?
what I did ( in terminal )
cd /opt/lampp/htdocs/larva
php artisan serve
it started the service and I can access laravel with htpp://localhost:8000 BUT if i close this terminal then URL is lost
and there is one other way is using vagrant? do we need to use vagrant if we installed it already?
one more thing is Nginx?
overall these vagrant, Nginx, Homestead, artisan,and composer methods create such a mess.
Please clear the clouds and please do not mention what is vagrant Nginx and all. I just want to know that do I need to do something with Homestead and vagrant if i have installed using git repository and composer way?
Thanks
Laravel Homestead is an official, pre-packaged Vagrant "box" that provides you a wonderful development environment without requiring you to install PHP, a web server, and any other server software on your local machine.
Artisan is the name of the command-line interface included with Laravel. It provides a number of helpful commands for your use while developing your application. It is driven by the powerful Symfony Console component.
When you close the terminal, you are stopping the service on port 8000. You always can create a virtual host, and point its root to your larval installation /public directory
you dont have to use vagrant to run laravel. Vagrant is just your 'bridge' to Virtual Mashine.
If you installed LAravel via composer and you got it work on localhost:8000 then you dont need neither homestead or vagrant
I have downloaded laravel from github. I also have composer installed. My problem is when i type in
composer install
I got the following error. I can't fix it.
Have a look at the free laracasts series, this will guide you through the install - without any hiccups!

I've been following this tutorial to try to install the PHP MongoDB extension but unfortunately haven't been able to get it working.
http://www.marcwitteveen.com/tech/mac/installing-mongodb-on-a-mac-so-you-can-access-it-with-php/
I can access the collections in the terminal, the database is properly installed but I didn't manage to get the extension working.
I have the following problem:
Sinan-MBP:mongo-php-driver-master Sinan$ cd
Sinan-MBP:~ Sinan$ sudo pecl install mongo
pecl/mongo is already installed and is the same as the released version 1.4.1
install failed
I've been trying several times so that's probably why I get this message. However, even after adding "extension=mongo.so" to the php.ini, I can't use MongoDB in my PHP code.
Thank you for your help.
This is likely a case of modifying the wrong php.ini for the environment, or PHP not being able to find the mongo.so in its directory. If you have separate php.ini files for CLI and web environments, PECL might have installed the compiled extension to a different directory.
If you run through the installation docs, there are instructions for grepping extension_dir from php -i and ensuring that mongo.so is present in that directory. If your web environment has a separate php.ini file, then grepping output from php -i likely won't help. You may need to view phpinfo(); output through your web server and check for the extension directory there.
One additional test that PECL installation succeeded would be attempting to view reflection information for one of the driver classes from the CLI environment. You can do so with php --rc MongoClient, which should print info on the methods of the MongoClient class.
I don't know why it was not working but I found a workaround late last night.
I uninstalled the php extension and then installed it again and made sure the extension was loaded in the php.ini
sudo pecl uninstall mongo
sudo pecl install mongo
