Can't install desired version of Laravel

Question

I can't Install Laravel 6.0, when I run this command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel_6.0

I want to install v6.0 but it comes with v5.8.17.

How can I download the latest version of laravel? My Php version is 7.2.10

Answer 1

You will need to make sure your server meets the following requirements:

• PHP >= 7.2.0
• BCMath PHP Extension
• Ctype PHP Extension
• JSON PHP Extension
• Mbstring PHP Extension
• OpenSSL PHP Extension
• PDO PHP Extension
• Tokenizer PHP Extension
• XML PHP Extension

And than First, download the Laravel installer using Composer:

composer global require laravel/installer

Once installed, the laravel new command will create a fresh Laravel installation in the directory you specify. Alternatively, you may also install Laravel by issuing the Composer create-project command in your terminal:

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

Or

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog "6.0.*"

Answer 2

From today you can install laravel version 6 with this command:

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

Answer 3

I recently, updated all of my projects to laravel 6.0,

I'm using, Ubuntu 19.04 by following command it works for my system

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel your-project-name

Here are some few ways to install laravel by specifying version

composer create-project laravel/laravel=6.0 your-project-name --prefer-dist

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel:6.0 your-project-name

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel your-project-name "6.*"
