Laravel Installer: I still see Breeze/JetStream

I've updated Laravel Installer to last version (5.15 on a Linux machine), but when I run

laravel new laravel-test-kit

it still shows me Breeze/JetStream starter kits. Can anybody help me?

Thank you

Certainly! The Laravel Installer (laravel new) command creates a fresh Laravel application, but it does not install any starter kits (like Breeze or Jetstream) by default. However, after creating a new app, the installer may display a message suggesting you can install Breeze or Jetstream, but it does not install them automatically.

Why do you still see Breeze/Jetstream?

  • The message you see is informational, letting you know about optional starter kits you can install after creating your app.
  • This is the default behavior of the Laravel Installer as of recent versions.

Example Output:

Application ready! Build something amazing.

Next Steps:
- Run cd laravel-test-kit
- Run composer require laravel/breeze --dev or composer require laravel/jetstream

How to proceed:

  • If you do not want Breeze or Jetstream, simply ignore the message.
  • If you want to use them, follow the instructions provided.

Summary:
You are not doing anything wrong. The installer is just informing you about optional packages. Your Laravel app is a clean install unless you manually install a starter kit.

If you want to suppress these messages:
Currently, there is no official flag to suppress these post-install messages. You can safely ignore them.

TL;DR:
You are seeing an informational message, not an installation of Breeze/Jetstream. Your app is clean unless you install those packages yourself.

Let me know if you have any other Laravel questions!

check what php version is running at your command line.

What Laravel version gets installed?

I had a similar experience and found that when I ran composer show -a laravel/installer seeing the latest version was 5.16.0 so I requested that version and it required updates to symfony/polyfill-mbstring before it could be downloaded so I ended up running composer global require -W laravel/installer - this fixed the problem for me

leaving this here for anyone who might come across the issue...
