Do not try to rename the file and do not worry about / usr / local / bin. Just place laravel.phar in the folder where you are going to use it.
Then make sure you have the curl PHP module installed. In OpenSuse:
sudo zypper install php5-curl
Laravel ( , php .phar):
php laravel.phar new <project-name>
. php laravel.phar new sandbox.
, Laravel.
