you have multiple applications offer that by installing them
Cross-Platform : Xampp
Windows users : Laragon
Mac users: MAMP
choose an application that compatible with your system, in my case windows users I use Laragon he has a useful feature that creates laravel project with his database and host that in a link like this laravelproject.beta
go to getcomposer download here
after that install it and Do not forget to choose the version of PHP that you are using you can find it in
C:\laragon\bin\php\php-"your php version"\php.exe
or
C:\xampp\php\php.exe
go to Laravel documentation Website here copy and run this command
composer global require laravel/installer
now you can create your first project laravel
you can do that by run this
laravel new "your project name"
or by composer run this
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel "your project name"
to show your project in your browser run this
php artisan serve
in your browser type click http://localhost:8000 to show website
this is a lot of code editing but, I choose you the best
Visual Studio Code it's support cross-platform windows,linux and mac os , free to use ,a bunch of extentions and languges that is support (it's best for me)
Git cross-platform Windows, Linux and mac os, is a free and open-source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency
Happy Coding 😃 💪 💪
