What is Laravel?

Laravel is a free, open-source PHP web framework, created by Taylor Otwell and intended for the development of web applications following the model–view–controller (MVC) architectural pattern and based on Symfony. Some of the features of Laravel are a modular packaging system with a dedicated dependency manager, different ways for accessing relational databases, utilities that aid in application deployment and maintenance, and its orientation toward syntactic sugar.

What is Laravel used for?

Laravel is a powerful and popular PHP framework used for building web applications. It offers a wide range of features and capabilities that make web development faster, more efficient, and more enjoyable. Here are some common uses of Laravel:

  1. Web Application Development: Laravel framework is primarily used for building web applications of all sizes and complexities. It provides a robust set of tools, including routing, middleware, controllers, views, and authentication, that streamline the development process and allow developers to focus on building features rather than boilerplate code.
  2. API Development: Laravel framework can be used for building RESTful APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to provide data and functionality to other applications or services. Laravel’s built-in support for API authentication, resource controllers, and response formatting makes it well-suited for developing backend APIs.
  3. Content Management Systems (CMS): Laravel framework can be used as the foundation for building custom content management systems (CMS) and blogging platforms. Developers can leverage Laravel’s flexible routing, templating, and database management features to create custom CMS solutions tailored to specific requirements.
  4. E-commerce Platforms: Laravel framework can power e-commerce platforms and online stores, either through custom development or by using Laravel-based e-commerce packages and extensions. Laravel’s robustness, security features, and integration capabilities make it suitable for building scalable and secure e-commerce applications.
  5. Enterprise Applications: Laravel framework can be used for building enterprise-level applications, such as customer relationship management (CRM) systems, project management tools, and internal business applications. Laravel’s modular architecture, testing support, and extensibility make it well-suited for developing complex and scalable enterprise solutions.
  6. Real-Time Applications: Laravel framework can be used in conjunction with technologies like WebSockets and event broadcasting to build real-time applications, such as chat applications, live dashboards, and collaborative tools. Laravel’s event-driven architecture and support for real-time communication make it suitable for building reactive and interactive applications.

Overall, PHP Laravel is a versatile framework that can be used for a wide range of web development projects, from simple websites and blogs to complex enterprise applications and APIs. Its expressive syntax, rich feature set, and active community make it a popular choice among developers for building modern and scalable web applications.

Environment Specification:

We are using a minimally installed Rocky Linux 9 virtual machine with following specifications.

Prepare your Linux Server

Connect with your Rocky Linux server as root user by using a SSH client software.

Set a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for your Linux server by executing hostnamectl command.

# hostnamectl set-hostname laravel-01.centlinux.com

Edit /etc/hosts file by using vim text editor.

# vi /etc/hosts

Add following line in this file to setup name resolution for your server.

192.168.116.131 laravel-01 laravel-01.centlinux.com

Rebuild your cache for enabled yum repositories.

# dnf makecache

Execute following command to update software packages in your Linux operating system.

# dnf update -y

Sometimes, above command also updates your Linux Kernel. In such scenario, you should reboot your Linux operating system with newly installed Kernel.

# reboot

You may also need git and unzip commands during installation of PHP Composer, therefore, it is better to install them now.

# dnf install -y git unzip

Confirm the Linux Kernel and operating system versions that are being used in this tutorial.

# cat /etc/rocky-release
Rocky Linux release 9.1 (Blue Onyx)

# uname -r
5.14.0-162.6.1.el9_1.0.1.x86_64

Install PHP on Rocky Linux 9

In Rocky Linux 9, PHP 8.1 is available via standard yum repositories. Therefore, you can easily install it by using dnf command and there is no need to install EPEL or REMI yum repositories.

Check the available versions of PHP module in yum repository.

# dnf module list php

Install PHP Composer on Rocky Linux 9

You may need PHP Composer to install Laravel Framework.

Download and install PHP Composer by executing following command at Linux bash prompt.

# cd /tmp
# curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
All settings correct for using Composer
Downloading...

Composer (version 2.5.1) successfully installed to: /tmp/composer.phar
Use it: php composer.phar

Rename and move the composer.phar file to location that is included in your PATH variable. So you can execute composer command from anywhere. Also set execution permissions of composer file.

# mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer

Execute following command now, to check the PHP Composer version.

# composer -V
Composer version 2.5.1 2022-12-22 15:33:54

Using version ^4.2 for laravel/installer

Composer downloads the Laravel framework and other libraries in ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin directory.

Therefore, to make laravel command executable from anywhere, you need to include this location in PATH variable.

# echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin"' >> ~/.bash_profile

Execute .bash_profile once to load these changes.

# source ~/.bash_profile

Laravel Example: HelloWorld

Go to your home directory and create a new PHP Laravel project as follows.

# laravel new helloworld

You have successfully created a new Laravel project.

Typically, you may use a web server such as Apache or Nginx to serve your Laravel applications. If you are on PHP 5.4+ and would like to use PHP’s built-in development server, you may use the serve Artisan command.

Artisan is the command line interface included with PHP Laravel framework. Artisan exists at the root of your application as the artisan script and provides a number of helpful commands that can assist you while you build your application.

Execute following command to check version of your Laravel Framework.

# cd helloworld/
# php artisan --version
Laravel Framework 9.45.1

Execute the following command to start Laravel development server.

# php artisan serve --host=laravel-01.centlinux.com &
[1] 3571
INFO Server running on [http://laravel-01.centlinux.com:8000].

Press Ctrl+C to stop the server

Configure Linux Firewall

Artisan default service port is 8000/tcp. Therefore, you need to allow port in your Linux Firewall.

# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8000/tcp
success

# firewall-cmd --reload
success

Open URL http://laravel-01.centlinux.com:8000/ in a web browser.
