How To Install Laravel on Fedora 35

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Laravel on Fedora 35. For those of you who didn’t know, Laravel is one of the most popular PHP frameworks in the world, and it’s great for developers looking to build modern web applications. So, many developers use it to make their most popular applications.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step-by-step installation of the Laravel PHP Framework on a Fedora 35.

Prerequisites

• A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 35.
• It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
• SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
• A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.

Install Laravel on Fedora 35

Step 1. Before proceeding, update your Fedora operating system to make sure all existing packages are up to date. Use this command to update the server packages:

sudo dnf upgrade
sudo dnf update

Step 2. Installing PHP.

By default, PHP is not available on Fedora 35 base repository. Then we add the Remi repository  to your system with the following command below:

sudo dnf install http://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-35.rpm

After that, reset the PHP module and enable PHP 8 from the Remi-8.0 module using the following command:

sudo dnf module reset php
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled remi
sudo dnf module enable php:remi-8.1

Finally, you can install PHP 8.0 with the following command below:

sudo dnf module install php:remi-8.1

Step 3. Install PHP Composer.

Run the following command below to install Composer:

sudo dnf install composer

Verify the composer installation:

composer --version

Step 4. Installing Laravel on Fedora 35.

After installing PHP composer, now we create a Laravel project using the following command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel idroot_app

Next, change the project directory:

cd idroot_app

Then, start Laravel local development server using the Artisan CLI’s serve command:

php artisan serve

Output:

Starting Laravel development server: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Step 5. Accessing Laravel Web Interface.

Once successfully installed, open your web browser and access the Laravel using the URL http://your-IP-address:8000. You will be redirected to the Laravel page:

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Laravel. Thanks for using this tutorial for installing the Laravel PHP Framework on your Fedora 35 system. For additional help or useful information, we recommend you check the official Laravel website.
