    Step 1 – Install Packages

    PHP is required to run the Laravel applications. As a backend database, you can use the MySQL/MariaDB server. Here is a short instruction for the installation of the LAMP stack on Fedora. It’s required to run the Laravel framework on your Fedora system. You can also use this guide for the detailed instructions to setup LAMP environment on Fedora systems.

    Install Apache
    sudo dnf install httpd
    
    Install MySQL
    sudo dnf install mariadb-server
    sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
    /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
    
    Install PHP
    sudo dnf install php php-zip php-mysqlnd php-mcrypt php-xml php-mbstring
    
    Install Composer
    sudo dnf install composer unzip
    

    Step 2 – Install Laravel on Fedora

    To download latest version of Laravel, Use below command to clone master repo of laravel from github.

    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
    composer install
    

    Dependency installation will take some time. After that set proper permissions on files.

    chown -R username:apache /var/www/laravel
    chmod -R 755 /var/www/laravel
    chmod -R 755 /var/www/laravel/storage
    

    SELinux enabled systems also run the below command to allow writing on the storage directory.

    chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/laravel/storage
    

    Step 3 – Configure Laravel Environment

    Laravel uses .env file for environment configuration. Use .env file for configuring all the environment variables for your application like the database, SMTP, security key, etc.

    cp .env.example .env
    

    Now set the 32-bit long random number encryption key, which is used by the Illuminate encrypter service.

    php artisan key:generate
    
    Application key set successfully.
    

    You can view the .env file to find the Application key is configured. In addition, you can also update the MySQL database configuration details in .env file as below.

    DB_HOST=localhost
    DB_DATABASE=laravel
    DB_USERNAME=username
    DB_PASSWORD=password
    

    Step 4 – Run Laravel with Artisan

    For the development purpose, you can run a Laravel application with Artisan command-line interface. Artisan starts a Laravel development server on your system, which you can access in a web browser.

    php artisan serve
    
    Laravel development server started: http://127.0.0.1:8000
    

    The default Artisan starts Laravel on port 8000 for localhost only. To access Laravel over the network specify your system IP with –host option or use IP 0.0.0.0 for public access.

    You can also use –port followed by the port number to use another port to serve the Laravel application. For example, use the below command.

    php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
    
    Laravel development server started: http://0.0.0.0:8000
    

    Setup Laravel Fedora PHP Artisan

    Step 5 – Setup Laravel with Apache

    Now add a Virtual Host in your Apache configuration file to access the Laravel framework in a web browser. To create an Apache configuration file /etc/httpd/conf.d/laravel.conf

    sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/laravel.conf
    

    and add the following settings:

    File: /etc/httpd/conf.d/laravel.conf
    <VirtualHost *:80>
           ServerName laravel.tecadmin.net
           DocumentRoot /var/www/laravel/public
    
           <Directory /var/www/laravel>
                  AllowOverride All
           </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>
    

    Save your file and restart the Apache service:

    sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
    

    Then access the Laravel website in a web browser with the specified domain name. Make sure the domain/subdomain is correctly pointed to the Laravel server in DNS.
