    sudo apt-get install git python-software-properties
    wget -q https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
    echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list

    The composer is required for installing Laravel dependencies. So use the below commands to download and use as a command in our system.

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

    Step 2 – Installing Laravel on Debian

    Clone the latest Laravel source code from its official git repository to your local system. Just execute the following command to do it.

    cd /var/www
    git clone https://github.com/laravel/laravel.git
    

    Navigate to the Laravel code directory and use the composer to install all dependencies required for the Laravel framework.

    cd /var/www/laravel
    sudo composer install
    

    The dependencies installation may take some time as per your network speed. After successfully installing all dependencies, set the proper permissions on all files.

    chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/laravel
    chmod -R 755 /var/www/laravel
    chmod -R 777 /var/www/laravel/storage

    Now, rename the .evn.example file to .env in projects main directory. This will use to setup application environment for the project.

    mv .env.example .env
    

    Then, generate base64 random number encryption key, which used by the Illuminate encrypter service.

    php artisan key:generate
    
    Application key set successfully.
    

    Edit the .env configuration file and update the required settings. Also, make sure APP_KEY is properly set as generated in above command.

    vi .env
    
    APP_NAME=Laravel
    APP_ENV=local
    APP_KEY=base64:Wer9JfZHN4qYQt9i8Hn1hLt8LWPeT3urzdI0hVqfzJM=
    APP_DEBUG=true
    APP_URL=http://localhost
    

    Step 4 – Setup MySQL Database

    You may also require creating a database for your Laravel application. Login to your MySQL server and create MySQL database and user.

    2
    3
    4
    mysql> CREATE DATABASE laravel;
    mysql> GRANT ALL ON laravel.* to 'laravel'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret_password';
    mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    mysql> quit

    Edit the .env file and update database settings.

    DB_CONNECTION=mysql
    DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
    DB_PORT=3306
    DB_DATABASE=laravel
    DB_USERNAME=laravel
    DB_PASSWORD=secret_password
    

    Step 5 – Apache Configuration

    You can create a new Apache configuration file or edit Apache default virtual host configuration file 000-default.conf and update DocumentRoot to Laravel public directory as below.

    vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
    

    Update configuration as:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    
            ServerAdmin [email protected]
            DocumentRoot /var/www/laravel/public
    
            <Directory />
                    Options FollowSymLinks
                    AllowOverride None
            </Directory>
            <Directory /var/www/laravel>
                    AllowOverride All
            </Directory>
    
            ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
            CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
    
    </VirtualHost>
    

    Reload Apache configuration changes by restarting service using below command

    sudo service apache2 restart
