Thanks for the video. For me this is the correct way to develop in a Windows environment.

[rosolovsky]

You forgot to add the following line:
export
to your .zshrc file.

I am curious why not just install docker and run Laravel sail? instead install all manually?

[lesssass]

You already done a tutorial, How to setup laravel sail with WSL, can you show how to the setup to laravel sail from here?

Thanks so much. Can you please make a video on deploying Laravel websockets

[jake]

Great tutorial! Works like a charm. However, I have one issue I was wondering if anyone could help with. When I run “php artisan storage:link” it doesn’t work at all for local public images. Anyone have a fix for it?

Thanks 😊

Hey Tony, , a little question I got about setting up the Laravel Prompts on Windows.
From your video (thank you for which) you literally setup a new server under Windows WSL where you've installed all Laravel project requirements inside.

I was wondering why don't you instead install the dependencies under Windows and make the WSL find composer, NPM, Laravel installer etc. via env path instead? This way we can have any local Windows Server like XAMP, AMPPS, Laragon etc. while still having the benefit of Prompts which come native for Linux and MacOS but Microsoft forgot to add them out of WSL.

Also, my current server allows me to emulate any domain locally using windows hosts file so it makes my work locally and host wise matching in terms of configuration and allows an easy import later on when I need to deploy to my PROD host. With WSL you have to run multiple project folders if you have to work on some in parallels and go to each folder to use php artisan serve and then work on it. I agree it is perfect if we use a single project, however while running multiple projects like yourself and other freelancers would/could need to do, then this might be harsh, no?

What is your Professional feeling about using WSL over native apps/servers as well as would you still continue using WSL + LAMP when the new Server comes for Windows as well (Laravel Herd) this month?

Anyway, thanks for the video as it is my first time I made the prompts work as many people show in their demo videos and I was crushing my head how come it does not work on Windows until I've read the manual (rtfm, right? ;) )

I followed the instructions but, it says command not found: laravel

That was the only command I had problems with, everything else was fine like in the video. Last message in the ubuntu command line was:

Using version ^5.8 for laravel/installer
