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)
Once all above are installed we can install composer.phar and then Laravel Framework…
Composer installation
First component we have to download and install is composer. That will allow further activity and Laravel project creation.
dev-lnx-01:~ # curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php dev-lnx-01:~ # mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin dev-lnx-01:~ # cd /usr/local/bin dev-lnx-01:~ # ln -s composer.phar composer
Now we have composer installed and placed in directory added to search path, so it can be run at any time.
Let’s download Laravel Framework components now…
Laravel download
First step will be to download Laravel Framework components using composer.
dev-lnx-01:~ # composer global require "laravel/installer"
Once we have Laravel components downloaded we want to add location of these files to searchable path.
dev-lnx-01:~ # echo PATH=$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin > ~/.bash_profile dev-lnx-01:~ # cd /usr/local/bin dev-lnx-01:~ # ln -s composer.phar composer
Now we can enjoy Laravel Framework Installer.
dev-lnx-01:~ # laravel Laravel Installer version 1.3.1 Usage: command [options] [arguments] Options: -h, --help Display this help message -q, --quiet Do not output any message -V, --version Display this application version --ansi Force ANSI output --no-ansi Disable ANSI output -n, --no-interaction Do not ask any interactive question -v|vv|vvv, --verbose Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug Available commands: help Displays help for a command list Lists commands new Create a new Laravel application. dev-lnx-01:~ #
We are ready now to create first Laravel Framework-based project…
Laravel project deployment
In order to create Laravel project we have to use Laravel Framework Installer. That will create folder structure with all required libraries and components, so we will have base for further development.
dev-lnx-01:~ # laravel new demo-project

Once that command will be completed folder demo-project will be created with all content.
In another article I will describe how to publish our project with Apache 2, so we can start working on it and see the results.
