Im very new to laravel and ive a project on a server that uses laravel.
How can i download this project and run laravel to it ? I managed to run laravel but it creates a whole new folder etc.
when i tried coppying the project folder to the laravel-created folder i got an error.
Download source code except vendor casus it's extra. Install php and composer. Then use a terminal(cmd in windows) and go to your project and run composer install. Wait till downloading packages complete. For running project type php artisan serve and your project is up. If your project had migrations and I think it has actually, run php artisan migrate before running serve command. Also check .env file in the root of project and change database credentials with your own. Depending on what dbms that project uses, you should install that DBMS too. Good luck
Taking reference to your comment:
i have the source code of a project that runs on laravel. Basicaly i am asking how can i run this source code localy on my pc
Good, that you have a project that runs on Laravel. You should probably consider to move your project to a central place, maybe Github, and from there create a proper workflow for development and further deployment to your (testing, production, ...) systems.
Even if you develop alone it would be a good practice to use git and Github - no, it is not the same
To come back to your original question:
How can i download this project and run laravel to it ? I managed to run laravel but it creates a whole new folder etc.
You don't need to install a new Laravel into an existing Laravel project. Just take the existing one.
