title: Laravel Excel Installation
body: <p>I've just used composer to get Maatwebsite Laravel-Excel. I am about to use it but I am brand new to installing/using packages. So far I've only used what is shipped with Laravel.
  I'm reading <a href="http://www.maatwebsite.nl/laravel-excel/docs/getting-started" rel="noreferrer">the documentation</a> and am following the steps (I've done the first three steps) but I am confused by this line;</p>
  
  <pre><code>The class is binded to the ioC as excel
  
  $excel = App::make('excel');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't really know what most of that means. I have read up a little on ioC and then Dependency Injection (also new to me). But I still don't know - is this part of the docs telling me to do something?? I ran <code>php artisan</code> on the command line (for another purpose) and I got this back;</p>

  <p><code>php artisan</code> ran sucessfully when I took out the maatwebsite references in config/app.php - so there must be more to do here but I don't know what.</p>
