Laravel Valet for Ubuntu Linux

The official Laravel Valet development environment is great if you are an Apple user and thanks to Carlos Priego you can now enjoy the same benefits you are an Ubuntu user.

Valet for Ubuntu is a port of the original made specifically for Ubuntu that attempts to mirror all the features of Valet v1 with Caddy server.

Installation is simple as well. First, make sure you are running Ubuntu >= 15.04 with at least PHP 5.6. Then, you’ll need the following dependencies and packages:

sudo apt-get install libnss3-tools jq xsel

PHP Packages (replace the * with your php version):

php*-cli php*-common php*-curl php*-json php*-mbstring php*-mcrypt php*-opcache php*-readline php*-xml php*-zip

Finally, require the package and run the install:

composer global require cpriego/valet-linux
valet install

After that, you’ll get all the Valet features including park, link, and status.

For more information check out the valet-ubuntu repository.
