This free course uses older versions of Laravel. It is provided as-is, without ongoing updates or individual support.
In this lesson, we scaffold out a new application and start sketching out the first test.
We start the course with Laravel 5.3 which was the current version at the time of recording. If you want to follow along line-by-line, I recommend that you start with a fresh 5.3 project, and upgrade to 5.4 and beyond when we do it in the course.
To create a fresh Laravel 5.3 project, run this in your terminal:
composer create-project laravel/laravel=5.3.* ticketbeastIf you'd like to start with Laravel 5.4 (or even 5.5), I recommend watching the upgrade videos first so you have an idea of what differences you need to watch out for.
