Setup Neos with Laravel Valet

#What is Laravel Valet?

Laravel Valet is a advanced development environment for macOS using nginx

Not available for Windows

Laravel Valet is not available for Windows. If you are using Windows, i would recommend that you take a look at the other instructions in the documentation for installing Neos on Windows.

#Install Laravel Valet

Please go to the official Laravel Valet documentation for more information on how to install Laravel Valet on your system.

#Create your Neos Project

Create your Neos Project with Composer

bash
composer create-project neos/neos-base-distribution .

#Serve your project

In your Project Directory, you can run the following command to make sure that your project can be served from Laravel valet.

~/Sites/your-project
valet link

If everything worked, you can access your project at the URL your-project.test.

#Secure your project

Laravel Valet makes it very easy for you to assign an SSL certificate to your project.

~/Sites/your-project
valet secure

#Change your TLD

Laravel uses dnsmasq which makes it really easy, to change the top-level-domain of your project.

~/Sites/your-project
valet domain local

After the command is executed, nginx and dnsmasq will be restarted. If everything has worked, your project should be accessible under the new domain.

#Running the Setup Tool

The last step would be to install Neos itself. For this, you can take a look at the instructions for the setup tool.
