Installation

Getting started with Prism is a breeze.

Requirements

Before we dive in, make sure your project meets these requirements:

• PHP 8.3 or higher
• Laravel 11.0 or higher

Step 1: Composer Installation

TIP

Prism is actively evolving. To prevent unexpected issues from breaking changes, we strongly recommend pinning your installation to a specific version. Example: "echolabsdev/prism": "^0.3.0".

First, let's add Prism to your project using Composer. Open your terminal, navigate to your project directory, and run:

composer require echolabsdev/prism

This command will download Prism and its dependencies into your project.

Step 2: Publish the Configuration

Prism comes with a configuration file that you'll want to customize. Publish it to your config directory by running:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=prism-config

This will create a new file at config/prism.php. We'll explore how to configure Prism in the next section.
