Installing Laravel on windows 8.1 using composer


Please I would be very happy if anyone could help me on this, for the past two days I have been trying to install laravel using composer on windows 8.1, through the cygwin terminal and it seems to be outputting errors; one on the terminal and the other when i view my laravel project on the localhost browser. I will be very glad if I could get any help from anyone. Thank you.

Solution

  • I would recommend using Git Bash from the Git for Windows project, for the best results, especially if you're familiar with Linux/Unix. I can confirm this works on Windows 8.1.
