Create a project with Spin
Getting up an running with Spin is very easy. It's recommended to install Spin globally so you can easily create new projects. Follow the installation instructions for macOS, Linux, or Windows before continuing. We'll walk you through the process of creating a new Laravel project with Spin.
Finding a project on "Spin Hub"
We created a community hub where you can find templates created by the Spin team and the community. We're in the early stages of development, but anyone can create their own template and we will publish it to Spin Hub for you.
Let's create a new Laravel project
For our example, we will use the "Laravel" template from Spin Hub. We have a command called spin new, which will take care of the heavy lifting for you
Create a new Laravel project called "my-billion-dollar-idea"
spin new laravel my-billion-dollar-idea
This will create a project in your current directory called my-billion-dollar-idea. You can also specify a path to create the project in a different directory.
Assuming you completed the prerequisites, the onboard wizard will take you through the process so you can get a local development environment with spin up.
Starting the development environment
Next, we'll start the development environment with spin up.
