About This Episode:
Let’s get Laravel up and running! 🚀
In this video, we’ll install Laravel, set up our development environment, and bring in the static HTML mockup we created earlier. You’ll see how to quickly spin up a new Laravel app, configure your routes, and render your first Blade view — laying the foundation for everything that follows in our Laravel Survey App series.
🔍 In this video, we’ll cover:
- Installing Laravel via the command line
- Setting up the Laravel installer and Composer
- Creating a /survey route and Blade view
- Copying our static survey design into Laravel
🧠 What You’ll Learn
You’ll learn how to create a clean Laravel setup from scratch — understanding the directory structure, the power of Blade templates, and how routing connects everything together.

Next episode: Blade Templates — we’ll refactor our HTML into reusable layouts, partials, and components to make our app cleaner and easier to maintain.
