Laravel merekomendasikan instalasi Laravel dengan menggunakan Composer. Composer sendiri adalah tool berbasis PHP yang dipergunakan sebagai dependency manager bagi sebuah aplikasi/library, seperti Apt-get, Yum, atau Zypper di Linux.
Berikut adalah langkah-langkah menginstall Laravel 4 dengan Composer:
1. Unduh Composer
Composer, dapat anda download dari situs http://getcomposer.org. Disediakan dua versi, versi Installer Windows dan versi script PHP (untuk Linux dan Mac). Untuk lebih mudahnya, silakan download Installer Composer (berupa script PHP) disini:
https://getcomposer.org/installer
Klik kanan dan save-as installer.php (atau jika mengunduh dari link diatas, silakan unzip/unrar).
2. Install Composer
Buka Terminal/Console atau Command Prompt Windows, dan jalankan installer dengan PHP-CLI:
[sourcecode]php installer.php[/sourcecode]
atau jika anda menggunakan XAMPP:
[sourcecode]C:/xampp/php/bin/php installer.php[/sourcecode]
atau
[sourcecode]/opt/lampp/bin/php installer.php[/sourcecode]
NB. Anda butuh koneksi Internet saat menjalankan installer, karena installer akan mengunduh sejumlah file!
Contoh pesan installasi Composer via terminal:
[sourcecode]
All settings correct for using Composer
Downloading…
Composer successfully installed to: /Users/unnes/Sites/composer.phar
Use it: php composer.phar
[/sourcecode]
3. Rename Composer.phar menjadi Composer
4. Instalasi Laravel
ada dua metode instalasi laravel dengan Composer.

[sourcecode]
