laravel 4 installation with wamp only show directories of laravel

I am a newbie to laravel framework . I tried to install it into wamp ( windows 7) following some tutorials. I tried to follow their official website, but is it ambiguous to me. After I completed the installation, I opened localhost/laravel which displayed the directory of laravel .Here are the steps that I follow:

1- Download laravle-master.zip 2- Uncommented all openssl commands from php and apache configuration files. 3- install composer ( it gave me a note that the environment path will be changed). 4- Run the command composer install in git bash cli

Please give me any information that may help me. The problem with most of the tutorials that they are skipping many important steps for the beginners.

Laravel has a folder public, that's where the index of your site is, so to access it you'd go to localhost/laravel/public.

But Laravel also provides a quick testing server that's built into PHP. To quickly start a new project with Composer already installed you'd do:

# Create folder anywhere you'd like
mkdir laravel && cd laravel
# Get latest Laravel with dependencies
composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist
# Run website with PHP's built-in server
./artisan serve

Now if you go to localhost:8000 you''ll get the Laravel intro page and you're ready to start developing.

If you decide use Apache and you want to get rid of /public you'd have to create a virtual host so you can link a domain to the public folder. More info http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html
