Mini Shell

1. Configure composer.json add [[php_binary]]
2. Add the following in composer.json under config :
"cache-dir": "[[softpath]]/cache"
We add this because by default it takes /root/.composer
3. Make the ZIP after installing Laravel manually
4. Delete bootstrap/cache/* while making our zip.
5. Take care of symbolic link of vendon/bin folder

Download the package using command: "php composer.phar create-project laravel/laravel:^11.0 [[dir]]"

OR using composer:

6. PHP REQUIREMENT LINK : https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/installation (Check composer.json file in package as well.)
7. Release date : https://github.com/laravel/framework/releases (released this on xx)
8. Manual installation steps.

9. We have kept minimum mysql version to 8.0 because it does not get installed on lower versions. Throws "Unknown collation utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci" error. utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci is defined in config/database.php file by default.
