I used to develop in vanilla PHP quite a few years back. Trying to get into it again. As I understand, Laravel is the most popular PHP framework these days. I tried installing it. It has a few steps and takes quite a bit of time on a relatively slow internet connection. My question is:
Is there anything that I'll install once for Laravel and just copy-paste the installation into another folder for a quick start?
Is there a container type thing that will take care of the version/configuration issues when I move things from my local machine to a server or from one server to another?
Thank you.
