Install Older Version of Laravel using Composer

Question

How do I install older version of Laravel framework using composer? The current version is 4.1 and I want to install Laravel 4.0.

Answer 1

either update your composer.json to what GregD mentioned or fetch it directly with

composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project-name 4.0.*

prefer this, as there can be some caveats when getting version 4.1 and wanting to downgrade (or even upgrade).
