Laravel is an open-source PHP framework used for developing websites. It uses the MVC pattern and provides features like authentication, routing, and database support out of the box. The document discusses installing Laravel locally, including checking PHP versions, installing Composer, and setting permissions. Key steps are globally installing Composer, creating a new Laravel project, and running a development server to access the site. Benefits highlighted are Laravel's easy setup and customization compared to other PHP frameworks.

4. History of Laravel
Laravel 1 was released in June 9, 2011.
Laravel 1 included built-in support for authentication, localisation,
models, views, sessions, routing and other mechanisms, but
lacked support for controllers that prevented it from being a true
MVC framework.
Laravel 2 was released in September 2011, bringing various
improvements from the author and community.
Major new features included the support for controllers, which
made Laravel 2 a fully MVC-compliant framework.As a downside,
support for third-party packages was removed in Laravel 2.
