Win7 under Installation Laravel

First, understand the next composer

1. Composer is a tool that manages PHP dependencies, allowing you to declare projects that rely on libraries and install them in your project. Its project-based management of ' packages ' or libraries, which install these packages or libraries under a folder in the project, will not have a global impact.

2. Composer The problem solved:

A) your project relies on many libraries

b) Some of these libraries also depend on other libraries

c) The library on which you declare

D) composer to resolve which versions of the packages need to be installed and installed (which means downloading to the user's project)

3. Declaration of Dependence:

Suppose you want to create a new project, you need a library to log the logs and decide to use Monolog. In order to bring the library to your project, you just need to create a file named ' Composer.json ' to describe the dependencies of the project

{      "require": {          "monolog/monolog"  "1.2.*"      }  }　　

Simply declaring a project requires any package that starts with version 1.2 monolog/monolog .
