Laravel Toolkit is a tool for easy and quick installation of the popular Laravel framework. This tool greatly simplifies the installation and configuration of the site. We can change the configuration file, add and remove modules, and most importantly, the installation takes a few minutes.
Laravel Toolkit has the following features:
- Installation
- Update
- Module Management
- Editing the configuration file
Let's start installing the site from the official repository. To install the latest version by default make sure php version 8 is selected.
Select the domain on which we will install Laravel and specify the repository: https://github.com/laravel/laravel The installation process will automatically perform the necessary steps and report successful completion. All installation steps take no more than 2 minutes.
After completing all the steps, the main application setup menu will be available to you, which includes editing the Laravel configuration file through the hosting control panel, installing additional packages, as well as checking and installing available updates.
Note, that the installation changes the default hosting root folder from httpdocs to httpdocs/public, so you need to check the application’s performance after 15 minutes (configuration update time).
