I\'m having trouble getting a test instance of Laravel 5.0 up and running so I can assist with this transition.
1) Creating a new app from https://github.com/laravel
Go to CLI and enter following command line. make sure composer is already installed.
$composer create-project laravel/laravel
It will ask you a question about removing .git files enter Y then.
change the directory to
$cd
then enter following command
$ php artisan -V
you will be able to see following message.
Laravel Framework version 5.0-dev means you have installed laravel 5 successfully!
