What is Laravel?

Laravel is a powerful MVC PHP framework, designed for developers who need a simple and elegant toolkit to create full-featured web applications. Laravel was created by Taylor Otwell.

4) In the wamp/www directory, Create a folder as your wish.

5)In Command prompt navigate to that folder and then run command like this:-
