Course Dependencies & Installation

Throughout this course, you’ll see me install some dependencies using Composer.

To make sure you have the exact same setup as I do, I’ve provided my composer.json file. Instead of installing packages one by one, simply run:

composer install

That way, your project will match mine exactly, and you won’t need to worry about tracking individual dependencies.

💡 Note: This course originally started with Laravel 11, but partway through, Laravel 12 was released, and I upgraded. To keep things simple for you, I’ve updated the composer.json file to use Laravel 12 from the start. This ensures that your project stays up to date and in sync with the later lessons.

🔹 For experienced Laravel developers: If you’re comfortable with Composer and setting up Laravel projects, you can follow along and install dependencies as needed when I do in the videos. However, using the provided composer.json will guarantee that everything works exactly as like mine.

Below is the updated composer.json file with Laravel 12
