1. Configure composer.json add [[php_binary]]
2. Add the following in composer.json under config :
"cache-dir": "[[softpath]]/cache"
We add this because by default it takes /root/.composer
3. Make the ZIP after installing Laravel manually
4. Delete bootstrap/cache/* while making our zip.
5. Take care of symbolic link of vendon/bin folder

Download the package using command: "php composer.phar create-project laravel/laravel:^11.0 [[dir]]"

OR using composer:
Guide to install Composer :
https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install

6. PHP REQUIREMENT LINK : https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/installation (Check composer.json file in package as well.)
7. Release date : https://github.com/laravel/framework/releases (released this on xx)
8. Manual installation steps.
- Add DB details & softurl in .env
- Run "php artisan migrate" to populate database.
9. We have kept minimum mysql version to 8.0 because it does not get installed on lower versions. Throws "Unknown collation utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci" error. utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci is defined in config/database.php file by default.
