It’s a simple step-by-step tutorial, how to setup Laravel project on openSUSE 42.1.

First some requirements to be able to proceed with all steps:

  • openSUSE server (I have it as virtual machine with openSUSE LEap 42.1)
  • Apache web server install on openSUSE (# zypper install apache2)
  • PHP >= 5.5.9 (# zypper install php5)
  • OpenSSL PHP Extension (# zypper install php5-openssl)
  • PDO PHP Extension (# zypper install php5-pdo)
  • Mbstring PHP Extension (# zypper install php5 mbstring)
  • Tokenizer PHP Extension (# zypper install php5-tokenizer)
  • Phar PHP Extension (# zypper install php5-phar)
