Here's a step-by-step guide to installing Laravel 9:

1. Prerequisites:

To install Laravel 9, you need to have PHP 7.4 or higher and Composer installed on your system. You can check if you have these requirements by running the following commands in your terminal:

php -v
composer -v

2. Install Laravel:

To install Laravel, you can use the following command in your terminal:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel <project-name>

Replace <project-name> with the name of your project. This command will create a new Laravel project in a directory with the same name as the project.

3. Configure the Database:

Laravel uses an SQL database to store data. You can configure the database in the .env file in the root directory of your project. You need to set the database credentials and other parameters in this file.

4. Serve the Application:

To serve the Laravel application, you can use the following command in your terminal:

php artisan serve

This command will start a local development server and make your application accessible at http://localhost:8000.

With these simple steps, you can install Laravel 9 and get started with building your web applications. Laravel is a powerful PHP framework that provides an elegant and simple syntax for building web applications.
