Since I installed laravel/installer globally via

composer global require laravel/installer

So I update laravel/installer globally via:

composer global update laravel/installer

Then do:

composer global show

and I see

laravel/installer             v4.1.1  Laravel application installer.

Note: suppose you want to install Laravel 9 (which works with at least php 8.0–8.1), while your system php version is php 7.4. Although you have updated the laravel installer but it won’t install laravel 9 for you! So first upgrade your php version by homebrew.

Before you continue with the rest of this tutorial, I would like to introduce two packages for Laravel that I have recently developed: Laravel Pay Pocket, a modern multi-wallet package, and Laravel Failed Jobs, a UI for the Laravel Failed Jobs Table. I hope they may be of help to you.

https://github.com/HPWebdeveloper/laravel-failed-jobs

The we can run:

laravel new --help
or
laravel help new

Now I can install a fresh Laravel with various flags like jet or auth!

laravel new project --jetOld:
laravel new project --auth

Let’s discuss about the the command with — auth flag:

laravel new my-test-app --auth

Is the shorthand of four following commands:

Laravel new my-test-appcd my-test-appcomposer require laravel/ui --devphp artisan ui vue --auth

To initialize the Laravel project you need to:

php artisan migratenpm install
npm run dev

Read about Laravel ui auth command here.
