I want to run my existing laravel project into my new windows system

Set up composer and git so you can do your updating.

Thanks @jlrdw

Composer is already installed in my system. What are other steps?

We don't know how your old system was set up, so it's kind of hard to answer that. Did you install php, mysql or any other things you need? Personally I just install homestead, which includes 100% of everything you need for a default laravel install. Especially on windows which is a non-case sensitive OS and can cause many issues developing on if you're not very careful. Most of the time you don't realize your mistakes until you upload it to a real server (which is most likely case-sensitive) and nothing works.

Here are my steps:

1. install web server (I use WampServer which includes php and mysql)

2. install composer (download .exe and install, during the installation procedure set the correct path to php.exe, then you will have php command available later in cmd)

3. install Laravel project - go to c:\wamp\www and run composer create-project laravel/laravel <projectname> --prefer-dist

4. create Git repository

5. create database (I suggest using SQLite for local testing deployments - so install SQLite and DB Browser for SQLite)

6. install Node.js

7. go to <projectroot> directory and run npm install

8. go to <projectroot>\resources\assets\sass\app.scss and uncomment the line...

1. Set up with web server(php,mysql).

2. If you had copied vendor folder than you should delete after copied to your new windows system and run command ## composer update to avoid any composer related issues like paths,versions and compatibility.

3. configure your .env according to your project

   DB_CONNECTION=mysql // DEFAULT DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 // DEFAULT DB_PORT=3306 // DEFAULT DB_DATABASE=YOUR_DB_NAME DB_USERNAME=YOUR_DB_USERNAME DB_PASSWORD=YOUR_DB_PASSWORD

4. Run this command to clear your config

   php artisan config:cl

5. After that you need to run migrate for tables creation.

   php artisan migrate

6. You can now run your project :

   php artisan serve

Sorry for bad english if any mistakes in above steps. hope this will help @GURVINDERSINGH
