How to install Laravel 7 and composer in a server that has already installed WordPress on Ubuntu 18.04

Hi there @Technosatmedia,

First, I would strongly recommend enabling backups for your Droplet or creating a snapshot. That way if anything goes wrong, you could revert back to a working version.

Then you will need to install composer, you could do that by following the steps here:

Once you have composer installed you can install Laravel with the following commands:

• First go to your /var/www/html folder:

cd /var/www/html

• Then install Laravel:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel my-laravel-project

After that Laravel will be available at /var/www/html/my-laravel-project.

After that, you can follow Step 4 from this tutorial here on how to configure Laravel:
