For anyone on Windows having a problem with getting the "laravel" command to work:

1. Locate your
2. Open your Control Panel and navigate to "System and Security" then "System"
3. Open "Advanced system settings" in the left bar
4. Here open the "Advanced" tab
5. Open "Environment Variables..." at the bottom
6. Look at the bottom half of this window that is titled "System variables" and scroll down until you see a Variable named "Path"
7. Select the "Path" row, and select "Edit..." at the bottom
8. Copy and Paste the path from step 1 at the end of what is in the "Variable Value"
9. Make sure there is a semi-colon before and after the new path you just pasted in the Edit window

That's it! You should be able to use the laravel command from anywhere now!

To test it simply open a blank cmd prompt and type "laravel"

Hope that helps!

How can I proceed?

Hi. Thanks for putting this together. I've been having trouble understanding how to configure the PATH in my .zshrc file. Not even sure how it's supposed to look. The link to the resource is bringing up a 404.
