Laravel for tortoises - part 3: Installation in toto

By zooboole 9 years ago
This may sound weird but I believe there are still people who don't understand what it means to install a framework, especially Windows users. The common habit when it comes to installing softwares is to double click on the launcher and follow the installation process by clicking `next, next` etc. At the end, **there is always a folder that is deposited in your system** (in `c:programFiles` usually on windows.) in which the software resides and you can start it from there or through a shortcut. When it comes to frameworks, there is *no launcher* to double click on. We just have the folder/folders to copy into our computer directly. So, actually the Laravel framework is a set of files and folders located in a remote computer(server) that we need to get in our own computer. The folder is like a finished website folder like the ones you are used to have when you build a website. Once you have it in your PC You can just point to it with your local URL(http://localhost/mySite) and launch/run it. The difference is that from the basic files of the framework you can create any type of website/application.
