Install Laravel and spin up a server using Composer and Windows Command Prompt.

Run the following commands in Windows Command Prompt from your local projects directory:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project-name
cd project-name
php artisan serve

Open a browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000 to see your new install.

Alternatively, globally install the Laravel Installer:

composer global require laravel/installer

And create new projects like this:

laravel new project-name
cd project-name
php artisan serve
