title: Laravel Download and Installation
body: <p>I'm a webdeveloper and I'm starting a huge project requested by a company.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to figure out if is best to use a PHP framework or not, and in case, which one.</p>
  
  <p>I know Codeigniter, but I wanted to look around to see what's the best framework at the moment. I found out Laravel is trending at the top so I wanted to try it out.</p>
  
  <p>Being used to Codeigniter I usually download the zip file with all the phps inside and start working. I'm trying to do the same with Laravel but I saw you are to download and use composer to install it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not really used to the Terminal and I wanted to ask if that's the only way of installing it or if there is a downloadable version as in Codeigniter, CakePHP, etc...</p>
