Getting started with Laravel on Mac required me to fire up Docker desktop which I don't particularly care for but I proceeded because I like to try out new things, so I followed the documentation https://laravel.com/docs/9.x#your-first-laravel-project:
- Fired up Docker desktop
- ran curl -s "https://laravel.build/example-app" | bash and "cd example-app"
- typed "./vendor/bin/sail up" and got an error "no such file or directory: ./vendor/bin/sail"
- Deleted the example-app and ran curl -s "https://laravel.build/example-app" | bash and "cd example-app"
- typed "./vendor/bin/sail up" and got another error "no configuration file provided: not found"
By this time my MBP fan sounds like an Airbus A380 getting ready to takeoff and I'm already frustrated with the framework, not sure what I'm missing!!
The docs push you in the docker direction, but they also have Laravel Valet which "is a development environment for macOS minimalists": https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/valet
A lot of Laravel devs use Valet instead of Docker.
