Here's an example of how to install and set up a Laravel project:

Create a new Laravel project: To create a new Laravel project, open a terminal and run the following command:

1. Change to the project directory: After creating the project, change to the project directory with the following command:

1. Configure database: In your Laravel project, you need to configure the database settings in the .env file. You can copy the .env.example file to .env and set your database credentials. For example:

1. Serve the application: To start a development server and serve the application, run the following command:

1. Access the application: Open your web browser and access the URL http://localhost:8000. You should see the default Laravel welcome page.

1: Laravel Backend and React Front End.

NOTE: Those who are using php version greater 8.0 then you need to do two more steps:

2. composer install --ignore-platform-reqs

2: Create a file axios.js and paste the following command.

3: Using Axios to make a GET request.

a) Open App.js ( the file you want to make call from ).
