Installing Laravel framework on window via Laravel installer:

2. download the Laravel installer using Composer by typing following code in the command prompt:

3. go to folder:

C:\Users\ {User Name} \AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor

4. copy the vendor folder and paste it into the folder (Destination folder) where you want to install Laravel project; for example, in folder D:\Test\Laravel.
