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. (Source: Wikipedia)
The source code of Laravel is hosted on GitHub and licensed under the terms of MIT License.
Environment Specification:
We are using a minimal Rocky Linux 8 virtual machine with following specifications.
- CPU - 3.4 Ghz (2 cores)
- Memory - 2 GB
- Storage - 20 GB
- Operating System - Rocky Linux 8.5 (Green Obsidian)
- Hostname – laravel-01.centlinux.com
- IP Address - 192.168.116.131 /24
Updating Rocky Linux Operating System:
By using a SSH client, connect with laravel-01.centlinux.com machine as root user.
Rebuild yum cache of enabled repositories.

Execute following command to update already installed software packages on your Rocky Linux Operating System.
# dnf update -y
If the above command updates your Linux Kernel, then you should reboot your Linux Operating System before moving forward.
# reboot
After reboot, check Linux Operating System and Linux Kernel versions as follows.
# cat /etc/rocky-release && uname -r
Rocky Linux release 8.5 (Green Obsidian)
4.18.0-348.20.1.el8_5.x86_64
Installing PHP 8.1 on Rocky Linux:
PHP 8.1 is the latest release of the most popular server-side programming language at the time of this writing.
PHP 8.1 is currently not available in standard yum repositories.
Therefore, you have to install Remi yum repository to grab the latest version of PHP.
Execute following command to install Remi yum repository on Rocky Linux.
# dnf install -y https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm

Composer downloads the Laravel 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
Now, execute following command to get Laravel version.
# laravel -V

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 Laravel. 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 the following command to start Laravel development server.
# php artisan serve --host=laravel-01.centlinux.com &
[1] 5727
Starting Laravel development server: http://laravel-01.centlinux.com:8000
[Sat Apr 2 22:20:46 2022] PHP 8.1.4 Development Server (http://laravel-01.centlinux.com:8000) started
Configure Linux Firewall:
Artisan default service port is 8000/tcp. Therefore, you need to allow it in 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.
Your Laravel application server has been started successfully.
