How to Install Laravel 10 using Composer

View Comments

• Now Laravel 11 introduced. So if you try to use the command "composer create-project laravel/laravel projectname-app", you will get the latest version of Laravel. Sometimes we are new to the laravel and learning Laravel by watching any tutorial and it's recorded in Laravel 10. We might want to use the same version. In that case, we can run this command to install the Laravel 10 "composer create-project laravel/laravel:10.0^ projectname-app". So we will get the Laravel 10 install on our device instead of the latest version.

  • Thank you for your insightful comment! Yes, you're absolutely right. Laravel 11 has been introduced, and by default, the command composer create-project laravel/laravel projectname-app will install the latest version. For those following tutorials or working with Laravel 10, specifying the version using composer create-project laravel/laravel:10.0^ projectname-app is a great way to ensure you're using the same version.

• Got this error after
  php artisan serve

  PHP Warning: require(C:\xampp\htdocs\trav_lesson/vendor/autoload.php): Failed to open stream: No
  such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\trav_lesson\artisan on line 18
  PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Failed opening

  • Please run the below command to your project's root directory, I think you missed this step.

    $ composer install

• It installs Laravel 9.0 and if I use composer create-project laravel/laravel:^10.0 example-app y return error " Could not find package laravel/laravel with version 10"

  • check ur php version

  • Please use the below command
    composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

• Note that php version at least 8.1 is required.
  I had php 8.0.13 in my path, and got laravel 9.
  Would be useful to know how to require laravel of exact version when creating project.

  • You may try with the below command to install a specific version of laravel.
    composer create-project laravel/laravel:^8.0 example-app
