Change laravel new project directory - laravel-4

Just installed laravel globally on OS X 10.9 and can create new projects via terminal using "laravel new projectName"
Tho, there's one problem, new project is created in my user directory, but I would like it to be created in my WAMP directory instead - "Applications/AMPPS/www/".
Is it possible to change it?
EDIT: Installed laravel 4.2 thru this comand: composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1" found in http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/installation

SOLVED. open terminal in specific folder, because "laravel new" doesnt know where is your localhost, right?

Error when creating a new Laravel project on shared hosting

I successfully installed Composer and Laravel in my shared hosting.
Then when I want to create a new Laravel project
laravel new myproject
It gives me
Crafting application...
Could not open input file: composer.phar
Application ready! Build something amazing.
Based on internet research, I edited my .bash_profile and added
alias composer="php ~/composer.phar"
then I run
source .bash_profile
Now I can type composer in the command prompt successfully.
But I still receive the same error when I run laravel new myproject
I don't have access to move the composer.phar to /usr/local/bin

How to Require Package Into Laravel Project with Composer

I am new to Laravel and Composer, and am following some guides including LaraCasts.com . One of the things that need to be done is use Composer to require packages to use in the Laravel project. However, this doesn't work for me.
I installed Laravel using the composer create-project method (http://laravel.com/docs/5.0), and so far everything was fine. However, any package I "require" now actually goes into the C:\Users\user\vendor folder, and the composer.json file is in C:\Users\user.
I understand that Composer is supposed to separate between projects as opposed to being global like PEAR. So how do I specify that I'm working on a specific project and require everything into that project? Also, what is the actual path where I'm supposed to put packages in Laravel, in case I want to do it manually?
I am using Windows 7 and Xampp.
When you run composer require {pacakage}, make sure you use the cd command (Change Directory - I think) into the project you want to install the package for. So if you're in Xampp it could be something like cd C:\xampp\htdocs\my-laravel-project\ or whatever the path to your project is, then run your composer require {pacakage}.
I believe it's installing it in C:\Users\user\vendor as when you open your terminal/command prompt the default location is C:\Users\{username}\.
Please make sure you ran the composer create-project in your web root, for Xampp I think it's C:\xampp\htdocs\ but it could be different depending on how you set up Xampp when you installed it.

How to install Laravel via Laravel Installer on Windows?

I’m trying to install the Laravel Framework on Windows with the Laravel Installer method.
In the documentation I found the following:
First, download the Laravel installer using Composer. Make sure to
place the “~/.composer/vendor/bin” directory in your PATH so the
laravel executable is found when you run the laravel command in your
terminal.
Now this PATH does not look familiar to me. Could you tell me the working path for Windows?
BTW: I’m using WAMP. Composer is installed and updated.
The PATH for Windows:
I’ve found the location where composer stores the Vendor files.
So instead of ~/.composer/vendor/bin, on Windows the following path should be used:
C:\Users\<COMPUTER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin
How to install the Laravel Installer:
=======
I assume you have php and composer in your PATH already.
First of all install the Laravel Installer. Open a command prompt and enter:
composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
**Then update the PATH environment variable** via e.g. command prompt with admin privileges:
set PATH=%PATH%;%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin
// setx /M path "%path%;%appdata%\Composer\vendor\bin" (this may destroy your system)
%appdata% is added, so you don’t have to worry about adding your computer name.
How to create a fresh Laravel Installation:
Now you should be able to run laravel commands in the command prompt.
To create a fresh laravel installation, open a command prompt in the directory of choice and enter:
laravel new name_of_directory
If everything went right, you should see the following message:
Crafting application...
Application ready! Build something amazing.
Use Laragon (http://laragon.org/)
Install Laragon.
Use Laragon Menu to create project
Take you 5 minutes to have Laravel4 o Laravel5.
Launch Laragon Project
Laragon automatically create Virtual host for your project name ( project_name.me)
Hope it helps.

If you are having trouble using the command prompt, use the GUI approach:
The path in Windows is:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin
In the above path "UserName" is your user name that you are logged in your computer as. If you don't know your username, go here: http://library.queensu.ca/libguides/computers/windows-username-check.htm
Copy the above path, replace the "UserName" with your username.
Then go to your computer's environment variables. Here's how:
Right click on your Computer and go to properties
Go to Advanced system settings
Under Advanced Tab, Click on Environment Variables
Under User Variables, select Path and click Edit:
Put a semicolon at the end of the existing text and paste your path, example:C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin. Press OK ...
Restart your command prompt and type laravel and hit enter. If the path was successfully set, you will see "Laravel Installer Version ... "
How to install Laravel on Windows using WAMP
Install WAMP first.
I leave everything to default.
Enable OpenSSL and all required extensions in PHP.ini
After you installed WAMP, you need to do this. This is how you make sure OpenSSL is enabled:
On your right hand side of your taskbar, click WAMP and then choose PHP.ini.
And then find php_openssl, and then remove the semicolon in front of php_openssl.
And then, save. Close that file and now go to wamp manager again, and now enable OpenSSL there just to be safe.
After you do that, restart Wamp.
Install Composer
Go to https://getcomposer.org/ and download Windows installer.
The setup will ask for your PHP. if you install your WAMP in default setting, it will usually end up in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12.
If your installation is successful, by running composer on command prompt, you will see all kinds of info just by running that command.
If you can see it, that means your Composer installation is complete. Let’s move to the next one.
Make sure that your htppd.conf includes httpd-vhosts.conf
Now let’s make sure that your htppd.conf also includes httpd-vhosts.conf. This is beneficial if you want to make a pretty URL just like this one:
Instead of writing up localhost/mylaravel, it would be “nicer” to have that pretty URL, right?
Anyway, let’s go on.
Go to C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\conf and then open up httpd.conf.
After that, search for httpd-vhosts.conf and make sure that there is no ‘#’ (pound sign) in front of it. Save. After that restart Wamp just to be safe.
Now let’s begin the fun part: installing Laravel.
Install Laravel in specified folder
You usually want to install your Laravel in your www folder. (Obviously!)
So open up your command prompt, and then change directory to your WWW folder inside your wamp. For me it will be: C:\wamp\www
To change directory, just type cd c:\wamp\www
Basically you are changing folder to your www folder.
And then, you can install Laravel. Just use this in your command prompt:
composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project-name –prefer-dist
And then hit enter.
Just wait a while until it is finished downloading and installing.
Enable Laravel installer
If you want to use Laravel Installer, you have to run this command in your command prompt first:
composer global require "laravel/installer"
Wait until… everything finished.
Create Virtual Host
Now let’s create your pretty URL. You have to go to C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\conf\extra and then open up httpd-vhosts.conf.
After that, you just need to paste the following and change your laravel folder to appropriate ones.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot “c:/wamp/www/mylaravel/public”
ServerName laravel.dev
</VirtualHost>
In my case, I used mylaravel for my laravel installation. You have to change it to something else. For server name, you can change it to whatever you want. In my case, I am using laravel.dev. (You don’t want to use google.com because if you do, you won’t be able to open up Google).
Obviously, you have to save and then restart your WAMP again.
Update Windows Hosts file
After you have changed your virtual host, you need to change your host file.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and copy hosts and paste it on your Desktop. And click on the host file you have pasted on your Desktop. Open that up using Notepad.
Put this in that host file:
127.0.0.1 laravel.dev
Change laravel.dev into what you already decided in your virtual host file. For me, mine will be laravel.dev.
Copy the one that you modified just now and put it back into your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder.
You’re done!

You can install laravel using Homestead box.
There are a few steps you need to follow.
Make sure that you have windows virtualization turned ON in your BIOS. This will save you a few hours if you are installing it for the first time.
You will also need to install Vagrant and Virtual Box before starting the installation of Homestead.
The main advantages of using Homestead is that it provides a Linux virtual machine where you can easily install packages. It does comes with a lot of packages installed.

How to install Laravel via installer?

In Laravel documentation, it explained one short paragraph on how to use installer to install Laravel.
First, download the Laravel installer PHAR archive. For convenience, rename the file to laravel and move it to /usr/local/bin. Once installed, the simple laravel new command will create a fresh Laravel installation in the directory you specify. For instance, laravel new blog would create a directory named blog containing a fresh Laravel installation with all dependencies installed. This method of installation is much faster than installing via Composer.
I am a Windows 7 user. After download the laravel.phar file, where should I store the file? I don't think there is any /usr/local/bin directory on Windows 7. How can I get the laravel command to be able to use in command window?
Install laravel 5.2 via Laravel Installer in windows 7
Steps:
Please make sure you have installed composer into your computer
Open command prompt
$ composer global require “laravel/installer”
C:\xampp\htdocs> laravel new mylaravel

The laravel installer needs to be in your PATH (no matter which Operating system).
In Unix based systems, /usr/local/bin is in your PATH by default.
On Windows, you can add a folder to your PATH by doing like this:
Start the System Control Panel applet (Start - Settings - Control Panel - System).
Select the Advanced tab.
Click the Environment Variables button.
Under System Variables, select Path, then click Edit.

It's a lot easier to install using Composer. Download the Windows Composer installer from the Composer Website and run it. Once it's installed you can run from the command line:
composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project-name
This will create the folder your-project-name and install Laravel in it. The advantage of using Composer it that it makes adding other packages to Laravel really easy.
