Laravel on a Apache webserver?

I am a newbee at Laravel and read already some introductions to Laravel. I now develop new websites on a Apache webserver with PHP 8.2, Jquery, HTML and CSS and for programming I use Apache Netbeans.

How does this work with Laravel?

Must I install Laravel on the webserver or on my local Windows 11 machine?

All I can find out is that I must install all of it (Laravel, composer and PHP) on my local machine, is this the way to work with Laravel?

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but just keep in mind that Laravel is a framework—behind the scenes, it's still just PHP.

And yes, you'll first need a package manager (Laravel uses Composer for this).

There are some tools that can automate these steps, but I wouldn't recommend using them if you're just starting out. (https://herd.laravel.com/windows)

I know Laravel is a PHP framework but what I don't get is the following:

I have in my own setup only Apache Netbeans on my computer installed and the rest (PHP etc) is installed on our webserver. I work local in Apache Netbeans to edit some PHP files and upload them within Apache Netbeans to our webserver.

As far as what I read so far is that with Laravel you install everything such as PHP, Laravel, composer etc.) on your local (Windows) machine?
