Deploy Laravel 5.1 on a VPS?

Hello, I have a VPS running ubuntu 12.02 LTS. I want to deploy a laravel 5.1 application on my domain. I am not sure how to do it. I zipped the directory, ftp into server and unzipped it to the server. I am getting the directory listing when I use this method. I installed composer, ran a composer update after that for which I got the message "Nothing to update". I am running php 5.6 on the server. Is there any guide to deploying a laravel project on dreamhost VPS manually without having to use Forge or Envoyer?

Basically you run it like any other site. You use a virtual host in Apache/Nginx/etc and point domain(s) to the public folder of Laravel. I would suggest reading up on the documentation for your web server software.
