Re: [IBMiOSS] Laravel

Alan,

I don't recall having to download Composer from the package manager.  I just pulled it online.  I installed BookStack on my IBM i a year or so ago and it required Laravel at the time I installed it (it's since been deprecated) but I did use Composer and it continues to be a BookStack requirement.  So I think you can just download and install it without the package manager.

So Composer is part of open source package management?

Alan Campin, yes many PHP shops use Laravel on IBM i.

Install it using Composer.

You may also wish to install the extension to Laravel’s database class for
IBM i ODBC support:

Does anyone know if Laravel is available on the IBM i though open source
package management?

Has any used Laravel on the IBM i? Is it something that needs to be
installed on the IBM i to be able to run on it?

Seems like a extremely powerful framework for doing PHP programming.
