The Laravel Installer is a tool designed to streamline the setup of new Laravel projects. It simplifies the process, allowing developers to quickly start building applications without manual configuration. Laravel, created by Taylor Otwell, is a free and open-source PHP web framework intended for building web applications following the model–view–controller (MVC) architectural pattern.
Key features of the Laravel Installer include easy installation, checking server requirements and folder permissions, setting database information, and providing a .env text editor and form wizard. The installer facilitates the creation of a new Laravel project using a single command after global installation via Composer. It also checks for necessary PHP functions and folder permissions.
The Laravel Installer is open-source software licensed under the MIT license. As a free tool, there is no cost to use the Laravel Installer itself. However, custom Laravel development projects can range from $3,000 to $100,000, depending on complexity and features. The cost to hire Laravel developers varies based on experience and location, with hourly rates ranging from $15 to $200+. The Laravel Installer is currently available for download.
