[Tutorial] How to install Laravel 5.5 (dev-develop) & Laravel Horizon

[leokhoa]

Open Terminal (Menu > Laragon > Terminal), then

1. Install Laravel 5.5:

composer create-project laravel/laravel horizon dev-develop
cd horizon
php artisan serve

---

Now, open a new Terminal's Tab (Ctrl + T), then
2. Install Horizon:
Note: Horizon needs the pcntl extension so you must add it to your PHP's extension first: https://forum.laragon.org/topic/593/how-to-add-pcntl-extension-windows

composer require laravel/horizon
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Horizon\HorizonServiceProvider"
php artisan horizon

Olala, you can access the beautiful dashboard of Horizon at:
http://localhost:8000/horizon

Of course, you can use the pretty url (after reloading Apache/Nginx) with laragon reload:
http://horizon.dev/horizon

There are better and quicker ways of installing Laravel 5.5. Use this command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel mylaravel

@leokhoa when I run php artisan horizon I get the following:

Horizon started successfully.
'exec' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Within the Horizon control panel it’ll say it’s active but the job will never process, it is shown as paused in the recent jobs panel.

thank you for the tutorial. is there anyway to automatically start php artisan horizon upon server start. something similar to supervisor?

@Ric-Le-Poidevin This is also happening to me

@Ric-Le-Poidevin any luck on this? I see all the jobs in the queue but same thing, it stays paused. I also see 0 processes as well.
