How to install Laravel globally in Ubuntu

===================================================================

Open your terminal using Ctrl+Alt+T and type the following commands

Step 1: Install Laravel

composer global require "laravel/installer"

Step 2: Add composer to path to access laravel globally

export PATH="~/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

Step 3: Create a new Laravel application

laravel new blog

Step 4: Install missing packages and their dependencies

cd blog
composer install

Step 5: Test the application

php artisan serve

Open a web browser and visit localhost:8000 to see the laravel welcome page

Step 6: Stop server

Terminate php server in terminal by pressing Ctrl+C

Thus you have successfully installed laravel globally.

In my case, I had already installed Composer and Laravel using
$ composer global require laravel/installer
but Laravel was not available at the terminal.
Using the following worked for me:
$ export PATH="~/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

Thanks a lot!

Install Laravel

composer global require laravel/installer

composer global require "laravel/installer"
Edit environment config,

nano .bashrc

Then add,

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin"
Then reload path config,

source ~/.bashrc

That finally worked.

Is there anyway to only create the projects using the larvel 9 installer rather than the latest one.

Thanks!
