When laravel 5 is not yet released, I install Laravel 4 using this command composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project-name --prefer-dist. But now when I use it, It installs laravel 5. I just want to use laravel 4, not yet ready for 5.
I've tried the other answers but doesn't work for me. So here's the command I use.
composer create-project laravel/laravel=4.1.27 your-project-name --prefer-dist
Source :
Installing specific laravel version with composer create-project
UPDATE
Laravel updated the installation docs of 4.* after releasing 5.
composer create-project laravel/laravel {directory} 4.2 --prefer-dist
Source: http://laravel.com/docs/4.2#install-laravel
If nothing specified composer create-project will get the latest stable version. You can change that by just specifying the version you want:
composer create-project laravel/laravel project-name ~4.2.0 --prefer-dist
This will install the latest 4.2.* version of laravel
You should download latest laravel 4.2 release from github - https://github.com/laravel/laravel/releases/tag/v4.2.11
then use composer update to download all relevant packages including latest laravel version
I use Alternate Method.
Docs says Alternate Method
Once Composer is installed, download the 4.2 version https://github.com/laravel/laravel/archive/v4.2.11.zip of the Laravel framework and extract its contents into a directory on your server. Next, in the root of your Laravel application, run the php composer.phar install (or composer install) command to install all of the framework's dependencies. This process requires Git to be installed on the server to successfully complete the installation.
If you want to update the Laravel framework, you may issue the php composer.phar update command.
U can use this
composer create-project laravel/laravel {directory} 4.2 --prefer-dist
replacing {directory} with the actual directory of your project

I want to install Laravel 9.4.1 in my system but it is installing 9.3.0 automatically when I write this command:
composer create-project laravel/laravel newproject
I have am using PHP 8.1.6.
You must use the following command:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel:^9.3.8 <your_name_project>
the latest version is 9.3.8
Laravel 9.4.1 version has not been released, so it's wise not to install.
composer create-project laravel/laravel newproject
This command automatically installs a supported project using the Laravel framework, and this command:
composer create-project laravel/laravel:^9.3.8 your-project-name
Installs the 9.3.8 Laravel LTS version.
trying to install new laravel app I got version error :

Problem 1
- Installation request for mockery/mockery 1.4.1 -> satisfiable by mockery/mockery[1.4.1].
- mockery/mockery 1.4.1 requires php ^7.3 || ^8.0 -> your PHP version (7.2.24) does not satisfy that requirement.
I do not want to move to PHP 7.3 now and if there isa a way to install lower version of laravel
to satisfy my PHP version 7.2.24 ? If yes, how ?
Thanks!
Laravel installer needs PHP 7.3, You may use composer instead:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel hostels3
Note 1: Laravel framework v7.x needs PHP version 7.2.5 or greater. You have 7.2.24 so you can install Laravel 7.x (the latest as of writing).
Note 2: To install older version of Laravel, specify the version as the last argument:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel hostels3 "6.*"
that way you can choose the version to install
composer create-project laravel/laravel miproyecto "6.*"
using composer you can simply install, Below I show laravel 5.4 install using composer
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog "5.4.*"
My source project contains laravel/lumen 5.8 and I cloned the project recently and installed composer and when I try to install lumen in this way
composer global require "laravel/lumen-installer"
I got the latest one . How can I get Laravel/lumen 5.8 using composer or any other methods?
You can create project as
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/lumen=5.8 myproject
Go to your app and then find composer.json and add this line:
"laravel/lumen-framework": "5.8.*"
then run
composer update
i have been creating a few Laravel 5.1 and 5.2 projects.
Now i wanted to try 5.3.
when installing a new project using
composer create-project laravel/laravel my-new-project
and the project was installed, i noticed this was still a Laravel 5.2 project structure.
How to fix this?
What version of PHP are you running?
Laravel53 uses php >5.6
Composer will fallback to Laravel52 incase you do not have the correct dependancies.
If this does not solve the problem, you can always run the command as such:
composer create-project laravel/laravel=5.3.0 my-new-project --prefer-dist
You can also mention the specific version you want by running the following
composer create-project laravel/laravel=5.3 your-project-name --prefer-dist
How do I install older version of Laravel framework using composer? The current version is 4.1 and I want to install Laravel 4.0.
either update your composer.json to what GregD mentioned or fetch it directly with
composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project-name 4.0.*
prefer this, as there can be some caveats when getting version 4.1 and wanting to downgrade (or even upgrade).
Finally it works, I just did four things:
composer create-project laravel/laravel mobilebanking 4.0
Change "dev" to "stable" in composer.json
Then run
composer self-update
After that, run this command
composer update --no-scripts
composer create–project laravel/laravel MiProyecto 5.3.* o
composer create–project laravel/laravel=5.3.* MiProyecto
Browse packagist - https://packagist.org/packages/laravel/laravel
Find version you need and add it to composer i.e.
"require": {
"laravel/laravel": "v4.0.0",
},
Install it like this:
composer create-project laravel/laravel path/to/your/directory version
For Laravel versions 5.5 it looks like this:
composer create-project laravel/laravel path/to/your/directory 5.5
