How to run Laravel 5 framework successfully for new learner

I want to explore Laravel 5 php framework but don't understand how to run with Hello World application.

I am using WAMP (On E Drive) Server on Windows 10 operating system and here is php server details:

I have tried following steps to install Laravel 5 on my local system but not working.

When I have run about command on cmd I got following message:

  [RuntimeException]
  Too many arguments.

create-project [-s|--stability="..."] [--prefer-source] [--prefer-dist] [--repository-url="..."] [--dev] [--no-dev] [--no-plugins] [--no-custom-installers] [--no-scripts] [--no-progress] [--keep-vcs] [--no-install] [--ignore-platform-reqs] [package] [directory] [version]

Need your support to run Laravel 5 for first time and also give me your suggestion if required for Laravel framework.

Thanks.

There are things that you should know before you install laravel.

  1. You need internet to conveniently install laravel. The faster the better.
  2. You need Composer to install Laravel. Download and install the Windows installer based setup.
  3. You need to know your computer's user name for the system environment. In my case I'm in windows 10 [C:\Users[USER_NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin]
  4. You need a server, in my case I'm using XAMPP with Apache server. (You may use other php server you want as long as you know where to go).
  5. You can find the official Laravel tutorial at Laravel 5.0 Installation page.

In the Laravel installation page, you have an option to use its own virtual host homestead. But if you are more comfortable using your prefer server then you may go for it.

check out Installing Laravel 5 with XAMPP or Wamp on Windows Platform with Windows 10 for more simpler way.
