How to properly install Laravel on Open Server and start learning normally?

Question

Laravel

I suffer with the installation, if anyone really uses, please write in more detail.
I somehow installed composer, downloaded www.github.com/laravel/laravel/archive/master.zip the framework itself, restarted the server, go through the browser folder, and a list of files opens there, and when I try to open some php file, throws up a lot of errors

Answer 1

In Laravel, you need to put the DocumentRoot of the http server in the public folder, and not in the root folder:
1. Settings - Domains - Domain management: Manual control (or manual + autosearch)
2. Add the domain manually: Domain name: domain.com Domain folder: \domain.com\public

Answer 2

Ajaxtelamonid said everything correctly, except that manual control is not needed, insert the public folder ( https://yadi.sk/i/QhZk04dUgLYAS ) into the autosearch and everything will start normally. Here is my full autosearch string.
In general, if your computer has 8 gigs of memory or more, install phpstorm and use Homestead. Windows without a virtual machine has its own pitfalls, which can sometimes seriously complicate life and it’s better to learn vagrant / homestead right away than to fill bumps in battle.

Answer 3

Composer comes with open server, find the console in the menu and there it is already installed and working.
laravel.com/docs/5.0 - everything is detailed on the first page. what else do you need?
If another version, then select and read.
And if you do not make friends with English. then google laravel.ru
!

Answer 4

In the list of files that opens, select the public folder. Better install Homestead.
