git clone https://github.com/Kamleshpaul/setup-laravel-with-frankenphp.git

#Step 2: Move the Cloned Repository :

• Move the cloned repository to root directory:

mv setup-laravel-with-frankenphp/{Caddyfile,download.sh} ./ && rm -rf setup-laravel-with-frankenphp

#Step 3: Make Download Script Executable

• Make the download script executable:

chmod +x download.sh

#Step 4: Download Composer and FrankenPHP

sh download.sh 

This script will download composer.phar for Composer and FrankenPHP for php-cli, php, and Caddy server.

#Step 5: Install Composer dependency

• To install all the dependency, use the following command:

 ./frankenphp php-cli ./composer.phar install

#Step 6: Run FrankenPHP Server

• To run the FrankenPHP server, use the following command:

./frankenphp run

#Step 7: Open Localhost

• After running the server, open your web browser and navigate to https://localhost

#Step 8: gitignore

• Add this in .gitignore

frankenphp
composer.phar

#Useful command

• composer cmd

./frankenphp php-cli ./composer.phar (install | update | dump-autoload | require | remove)

• Laravel artisan cmd

./frankenphp php-cli artisan about

NOTE: It installs PHP 8.3. If you need another version of PHP, you can compile and use FrankenPHP and change the Composer version.
