73<p>I inevitably google these things in advance so here&rsquo;s my chance to pay it forward. The good news is it&rsquo;s incredibly easy.</p>
74
75<h2 id="set-up-php-7-1-as-the-command-line-binary">Set up PHP 7.1 as the command-line binary:</h2>
76
77<ol>
78<li>Create a fully-hosted, choosing your VPS as the destination server. By default it&rsquo;s going to set the web directory to <code>/home/username/{domain}</code> and you&rsquo;ll want to append <code>/public</code> to the end of that. Use (or create) a user with <strong>shell</strong> access, the default is SFTP only. Make sure you set the PHP version to 7.0 or 7.1 if you&rsquo;re using Laravel 5.3 or later. I&rsquo;m using 7.1 for these examples.</li>
79<li>That&rsquo;ll take 5 or 10 minutes to get set up, and then it&rsquo;ll email you with the address to use to SSH in.</li>
80<li>If you do a <code>php -v</code> you&rsquo;ll notice that 5.6 is the default binary used (at the time of this writing). Change it to 7.1 by doing the following:<br />
81<code>export PATH=/usr/local/php71/bin:$PATH</code><br />
82<code>. ~/.bash_profile</code><br /></li>
83</ol>
84
85<p>Now your <code>php -v</code> should show 7.1.</p>
86
87<h2 id="enable-phar">Enable PHAR:</h2>
88
89<ol>
90<li><code>nano ~/.php/7.1/phprc</code><br /></li>
91<li>Add the following 2 lines and save:<br /></li>
92</ol>
93
94<pre><code>extension = phar.so
95suhosin.executor.include.whitelist = phar
96</code></pre>
97
98<h2 id="install-composer">Install Composer:</h2>
99
100<ol>
101<li><code>mkdir -p ~/.php/composer</code></li>
102<li><code>cd ~/.php/composer/</code></li>
103<li><code>curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php</code></li>
104<li><code>mv composer.phar composer</code></li>
105<li><code>chmod +x composer</code></li>
106<li><code>export PATH=~/.php/composer:$PATH</code></li>
107</ol>
108
109<h2 id="install-laravel">Install Laravel:</h2>
110
111<ol>
112<li><code>rm ~/{domain}/*</code> (Composer won&rsquo;t install anything to a non-empty directory.)</li>
113<li><code>cd ~</code></li>
114<li><code>composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel {domain}</code></li>
115</ol>
116
117<p>Composer will then do its thing and after a little while, you&rsquo;ll be finished. Check your website and you should see the Laravel splash screen.</p>
