installing laravel on ubuntu 13.10

Question

Hi I try to install laravel 4 on my ubuntu 13.10 using the laravel command but when i palce the laravel file in /usr/local/bin I have a problem. For using laravel command I must be super user. There is a way for installing laravel with my user?

Answer 1

You can install composer this way:

php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php

and then easily create a laravel project with:

composer create-project laravel/laravel /path/to/project --prefer-dist

this should be possible as normal user without sudo .

Happy coding!

Answer 2

You have to add laravel in your PATH using below command.

export PATH="~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

Now if $ laravel new blog doesn't work you can use $ sudo laravel new blog
