What is Laravel?

Laravel is one of the easiest open-source frameworks for PHP to assimilate. One of its advantages is that it has a much easier learning curve than other web and application development tools. It was created in 2011 and is heavily influenced by frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, and ASP.NET MVC.

With Laravel, we will have available other tools that together make up the power of Laravel.

• Blade: A powerful template manager where we can manage PHP variables directly in the view.
• Eloquent: Laravel’s database system, for writing and retrieving data. So we don’t have to work directly with SQL code.
• Routing: LAravel has its own routing system that helps us to set up the routing of our pages with GET or POST methods.

Besides this, Laravel is one of the best-documented frameworks that exist and with an active community willing to give support to the newbie.

So, let’s get started.

Install Laravel on Debian 11

Installing the Laravel requisites

First, you need to install PHP and some of its modules and the unzip package.

sudo apt install php php-bcmath php-json php-mbstring php-pdo php-tokenizer php-xml php-pear php-zip php-zip unzip

Install PHP Composer on Debian 11

The installation of laravel can be done without problems using PHP Composer. So we have to install it and keep it up to date.

For that, we invite you to read our post about it:

How to install PHP Composer on Debian 11?

Once it is installed and updated, we can follow the procedures.

Install Laravel on Debian 11

Now with the help of Composer, we have to install Laravel. To do this, run the following command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel [project_name]

Where the last value is where you have to specify the name of your project.

So, Composer will start with downloading and installing all Laravel dependencies. When finished, you will see an output screen like this

This will create a folder with the name of your project that we need to access.

cd example

And there will be all our Laravel working and ready for us to start creating code.

If you want to check how the project is running and also if you want to verify the installation, you can run

php artisan serve

Then open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8000 and you’ll see an image like this

In case Laravel has been installed on a server or another computer over the network, you can specify that it is accessible from another computer.

php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0.0 --port=1234

This way you can access the computer and with the 1234 port you can change these values to your liking.

Conclusion

During this post, you have learned how to install laravel on Debian 11 so you can start developing cool applications that you can take to production. So, this is a powerful framework that you need to take full advantage of.

In order to be pragmatic and flexible, Yii PHP was born. It is a framework for object-oriented PHP development that uses the architectural pattern MVC. What makes it ideal for developing many web applications such as forums, information sites or virtual shopping.

With Yii PHP you will have no licensing problems because it is open source (BSD Licence) which makes it ideal for community, educational or long-range projects.

Install Yii PHP Framework on CentOS 8

From the project’s website, we recommend using composer to perform the installation. This is because the framework has many dependencies and Composer is the best for it.

So the first step is to install Composer on CentOS 8

Install Composer on CentOS 8

Installing Composer on CentOS 8 is quite simple, but you have to install some previous packages.

So, open a terminal session and run the following:

:~$ sudo dnf install php php-json php-mbstring php-xmlrpc php-soap php-gd php-xml php-cli php-zip curl

What have we just installed? Well, first of all, PHP so you can interpret Composer. Then, we installed a series of extensions that will also work for Yii. Finally, curl is a utility that we will use to download Composer.

Then, we proceed to download and install it.

:~$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Next, we will make Composer available from the terminal with the following commands:

:~$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer 
:~$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer 
:~$ source ~/.bashrc 

Now, you can check if everything went well with the next command:

:~$ composer -v 

If it shows you the version or helps you, it’s all right.

Getting Yii framework on CentOS 8

Once Composer is properly installed, we can install the Yii framework.

To do so, just use the following command:

:~$ composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic example

This command will download and configure the entire directory structure of Yii making it available to us. In this case, the project is called “example“, but obviously you can change this.

Remember that when you run this command, it will create a folder with the name of the project in the current location.

By default, Yii allows Composer to handle CSS/Javascript dependencies. If you want Composer not to do it and you want NPM, you have to do the following steps.

:~$ cd [your-project]
:~$ nano composer.json

And add the following:

"replace": {
    "bower-asset/jquery": ">=1.11.0",
    "bower-asset/inputmask": ">=3.2.0",
    "bower-asset/punycode": ">=1.3.0",
    "bower-asset/yii2-pjax": ">=2.0.0"
},

As I said, it’s not mandatory.

To check that everything is in order, we will serve the project.

From the project location, run the following command:

:~$ php yii serve

This will allow the project to be displayed in a web browser at http:/localhost:8080. Remember that this port has to be available in the firewall.

However, we can specify a different host and port:

:~$ php yii serve [Ip-address] --port=[port]

Then open your browser and go to your project and you will see the following:

So, that is it. You are ready to start creating fantastic web applications with Yii framework.

Conclusion

Yii is a less popular framework than Cake or Laravel, but equally powerful. Many websites are made with this framework and the results are fantastic for the developer and the end-user.

On the other hand, the installation of Yii is facilitated thanks to its compatibility with Composer.

Prerequisites

Django’s installation is managed from PIP. This is a package management system used to install and manage software packages written in Python. Consequently, it is indispensable to have Python installed in Windows 10. To know how to do it, please check here.

Preparing for installation.

In the first place, creates a folder in any location. I recommend the root directory. In this folder, the projects will be saved. Likewise, assign the name you want. In this case, I’ll use django.

Create a virtual environment for the project.

In order to develop the project, it is necessary to create a virtual environment. With this in mind, open a Command Prompt and use the CD command to go to the django folder.

cd..
cd..
cd django

Once inside the folder, proceed to create the environment, typing the following command:

py -m venv osradar

Please remember to replace osradar with the name you want to assign to the virtual environment.

Once the environment is created, all that remains is to activate it. With this in mind, please type the following command:

osradar\Scripts\activate

Downloading at installing Django

As we said at the beginning, in order to install Django, you need to use PIP. So, open a CMD from the project folder previously activated, and enter the following command:

 pip install Django==3.0.2

Press enter and wait for the wizard to download and install the framework.

After installing Django, it’s time to verify the installation. To do so, type the following command:

pip freeze

If everything is working correctly, the console should display the version of the installed items.

Create a new project.

Then create your first project in Django. With this in mind, open a Command Prompt from the virtual environment and execute this command:

django-admin startproject Liberator

Please remember to replace the word Liberator with the name of your project.

Running the server

After the project is created, it’s time to run the server. With this in mind, open a CMD from the newly created project folder. Then execute this command:

python manage.py runserver

Press enter, if everything is correct the server will start.

After starting the server, please copy the IP address to your web browser.

We’ve finally seen how to install Django on Windows 10. From now on you can use this powerful framework written in Python. That’s all for now, please share this post on your social networks. See you next time.

The post How to install Django on Windows 10. appeared first on Linux Windows and android Tutorials.

Prerequisites

In order to install this framework, it is imperative to have the following installed:

• An HTTP server. It can be Nginx, Microsoft IIS or Apache. Here in osradar.com we show you how to install Apache in Windows 10.
• PHP 5.6.0 or greater. If you want to know how to install PHP 7.40, please read our tutorial.
• A database storage engines. For more information about database managers, check out our post about MySQL in Windows 10.
• Composer. If you want to know how to install it, please check our post.

Enabling the necessary extensions in PHP

Not only is it necessary to have PHP installed, it is also indispensable to have the following extensions enabled:

• Mbstring PHP extension
• Intl PHP extension

Depending on the installation path, PHP extensions are located in this folder C:\php\ext.

However, the fact that the extensions are present in the ext folder only means that you don’t have to download or compile them. To enable them, you need to edit the PHP.ini file. With this intention go to the following path: C:\php. Once there, select the file and open it with your favorite text editor.

Once the file is open, you only have to scroll to the list of extensions. Additionally, you can notice that the file contains all the extensions that are in the program folder. Furthermore, the extensions that are currently enabled, have a ; before the name. Therefore, in order to enable any extension, just delete the ; in the line. With this in mind, select mbstring and intl to delete the ; and enable them. Then save the file to set the changes.

Installing a new CakePHP project.

To install and create a new CakePHP project, please open a Command Prompt from the following path: C:\Apache24\htdocs. Next, execute the following command:

 composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app my_app_name 

Please remember to replace my_app_name with the name you assigned to the project.

Conclusion

Ultimately we’ve seen how to install CakePHP on Windows 10. Its modular design allows designers and developers to work together, as well as quickly prototype. That’s it for now. See you soon!

The team responsible for the development and maintenance of Laravel defines it as the PHP framework for artisans. This is because Laravel respects the clear and legible syntax of the code. In addition to this, it has a huge user community that is constantly checking the source code for errors.

Laravel has grown so much that there is a whole ecosystem of applications and tools to continue taking advantage of the framework. So we are talking about a community PHP framework that behaves professionally.

In the same way, some distinctive elements of Laravel are Blade for creating the templates, Eloquent for integrating the database correctly and Artisan as a command interpreter.

Now let us install Laravel on CentOS 8.

Install Laravel on CentOS 8

While it is true that to start developing in Laravel is not necessary to have a web server running, it is advisable to have it. Because once we have the application ready, we can deploy it locally and know how it really works. Also, if we are going to work with a PHP framework is because we will use database and of course the language as such. So, I recommend you to install LAMP on CentOS 8 first.

How to install LAMP on CentOS 8?

Just, install the following PHP extensions:

• BCMath PHP Extension
• Ctype PHP Extension
• JSON PHP Extension
• Mbstring PHP Extension
• OpenSSL PHP Extension
• PDO PHP Extension
• Tokenizer PHP Extension
• XML PHP Extension

Then, you have to continue with the rest of the steps.

Install composer on Linux

Similar to CakePHP, the fastest and most direct way to install Laravel is through Composer. Then, you have to install Composer. For this, we have a very detailed tutorial where we explain the process.

How to install Composer on CentOS 8?

With composer running, it is time to install Composer on CentOS 8.

Install Laravel on CentOS 8

Now we can install Laravel, for that, we will use composer. In a terminal session, run the following command as the regular user:

:~$ composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel example

You can change example by the name of your project.

To check the progress of your project you can use it. To do this, use the following command:

:~$ cd example
:~$ php artisan serve

This will make your project available at http://localhost:8000 but you can modify the command to specify the host and port. Remember that the port must be open in the firewall. Suppose we continue with port 8000 but with another host.

:~# firewall-cmd --add-port=8000/tcp --permanent --zone=public
success
:~# firewall-cmd --reload
success

Again, serve the project.

:~$ php artisan serve --host=192.168.250.13 --port=8000

Next, open your web browser and go to your host. You will see the following:

And that is it.

Conclusion

With Laravel you can make web applications in an elegant way with a clean and legible source code. In this sense, the ecosystem surrounding Laravel is something more complex and robust than other frameworks such as CakePHP. And as you’ve learned today, installing it on CentOS 8 is not something that should scare us.

Symfony PHP is a high-performance framework for developing web applications. So, it is very popular among groups of developers working on medium to large scale projects. In addition, it is one of the best-documented frameworks, with many books that teach you how to use its full potential.

So, let’s install Symfony on Ubuntu 18.04.

1. Install Apache web server

The first step is to install a web server, in this case, I will use Apache because it is easy to install and use.

:~$ sudo apt install apache2

Then, start and enable the service.

:~$ sudo systemctl enable apache2
:~$ sudo systemctl start apache2

And that’s it.

2. Install PHP

Since it is a PHP framework it is obvious that you have to install the PHP language. So let’s go for it.

:~$ sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mbstring php-xmlrpc php-soap php-gd php-xml php-cli php-zip php-mysql php-curl

Now, restart apache.

:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

3. Install MariaDB

If you are going to develop with a framework, it is necessary to have a database manager, so install MariaDB.

:~$ sudo apt install mariadb-server

Then, enable and start the service.

:~$ sudo systemctl enable mariadb
:~$ sudo systemctl start mariadb

Now, set a root password for MariaDB. You can do it using the mysql_secure_installtion script.

:~$ sudo mysql_secure_installation

There you can configure other options, however, I leave it to your discretion the answers as for this tutorial are not decisive.

4. Install Symfony PHP

To install Symfony 4, you must first install Composer. Composer is a dependency manager for PHP.

:~$ wget https://getcomposer.org/installer
:~$ php installer

As you can see, after an initial connection error, composer is installed properly.

Next, make Composer a global command.

:~$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer 
:~$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer

5. Create a new project

Now it’s time to create a new Symfony project. It’s very simple.

:~$ composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton example

Obviously, put the name of the project you want.

Then, serve the project.

:~$ cd example
:~$ php bin/console server:run

Finally, open the web browser an go to http://IP_SERVER:8000. Or you can specify the IP and the port. It is useful if you are using a VM.

And that’s it.

Conclusion

While it is true that Symfony is a framework not so easy to learn, its installation on Ubuntu 18.04 is quite simple. All that’s left is for you to develop brilliant applications with it.

Please share this post with your friends.

Rails is a framework for web applications that runs on the Ruby programming language. This means that you will not use PHP in this framework, so you must first learn the ruby language before using this popular framework.

Following the paradigm of the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern Ruby on Rails tries to combine simplicity with the possibility of developing real-world applications by writing less code than with other frameworks and with a minimum of configuration.

Let’s get to work!

1.- Upgrading the system

To install Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu 18.04 we will use RVM (ruby version manager) which will help us to install it more easily. First we will open a terminal emulator and proceed to update the system. Doing so is highly recommended to maintain optimal operating system performance. As root user, write:

:~$ sudo -i
:~# apt update && apt upgrade

After the process of updating the operating system is finished, we must install node and curl, two tools necessary to continue with the tutorial.

:~# apt install nodejs curl

Next, import the signature key to verify the download we will do with RVM.

:~# curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg --import -

Next we have to install RVM and the stable version of Ruby

:~#  curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

We proceed to update the shell to be able to use RVM:

:~# source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm

And then we’ll install rails.

:~# gem install rails

Optionally we can choose a specific version of Rails, the syntax would be:

:~# gem install rails -v x.x

replace x.x with the version of your choice. I repeat, this is optional.

now, We verify the installation done:

:~# ruby -v
:~# rails -v

now to verify the installation, we must create a new project.

:~# cd /home/angelo/
:~# rails new example

We enter the project folder:

:~# cd example

And finally we must start the rails WEBrick server:

:~# rails s -b 0.0.0.0

And finally we go to the web browser and access the project created with our ip address through port 3000.

http:IP:3000/

And that’s all there is to it! The main advantage of installing Ruby on Rails with this method is that we can use specific versions of the framework.
