Setup LAMP. Install composer. Install laravel. Upload your project files.

Domain set up in DO DNS. Point domain to your project in apache.

Google is a great tool, one search and I found several results for how to do this without Forge. First result I found is http://davidmyers.name/post/laravel-on-digital-ocean

So pick Applications -> Lamp on 14.04? I have that ok. Are there any video tutorials for mac? I learn best that way.

Railto cheers, I saw that before. I meant video tutorials. Changed my question there

So you are clearly able to search google, try there. I have read through the guide I linked to and it is very easy to work through, really don't think a video tutorial on this would be necessary.

For setting Laravel DigitalOcean server, you will first have to setup a LAMP stack or any other stack you want, then install Laravel through composer command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel mylaravel

The above command will install the latest laravel version to your specified directory.

Next, you can either upload your project through FTP to your server or deploy from git through ssh access.
