Two methods, including by using composer (which shouldn't be any different when using EasyPHP), are explained here in the docs.
But use either the laravel archive OR composer. I suspect you're getting confused between them.
Yes, I am very confused, because I do NOT have a usr/local/bin on my Windows ? And I have a DOS Window, not a terminal. But I have composer installed in Windows ;-)
So in my DOS Window (Start->CMD) I go to the preferred subdir and there I give this command:
composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist
and then a new message pop up:
Yo must enable openssl extension to download files via https
So I first have to edit this php.ini and enable this extension=php_openssl.dll around line 917 and save the file!
Then it installs me symfony ?
You need to install OpenSSL for Windows. I am using EasyPHP on Windows 7 64. I followed the Panique's tut for PHP-MVC MINI on Github, which also recomended EasyPHP and OpenSSL on Windows...
My understanding is OpenSSL is required to use Composer in Windows because Composer requires SSL to connect..
Shining Light's OpenSSL for Windows worked great for me...I had to try a few of the dependent Microsoft Visual C++ until one worked...but then it fired and Composer works...
Hope this helps...
