sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend
sudo apt update
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend
sudo dpkg --configure -a
apt update && apt -y upgrade

Step #02: Install Apache PHP and mysql database.

root@Laravel:~# add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
root@Laravel:~# apt update
root@Laravel:~# apt install -y zip unzip software-properties-common
root@Laravel:~# apt -y autoremove
root@Laravel:~# apt install -y apache2  php8.0-common php8.0-cli php8.0-gd php8.0-mysql php8.0-curl php8.0-intl php8.0-mbstring php8.0-bcmath php8.0-imap php8.0-xml php8.0-zip php8.0 php8.0-xml php-zip libapache2-mod-php8.0 
root@Laravel:~# apt-get install -y mysql-server mysql-client
root@Laravel:~# service mysql start
root@Laravel:~# service mysql status

Step #03: Download and install composer.

root@Laravel:~# curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
root@Laravel:~# mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

root@Laravel:~# systemctl start apache2
root@Laravel:~# systemctl enable apache2

Step #04: Download Laravel project and install composer.

root@Laravel:~# cd /var/www/html
root@Laravel/var/www/html# git clone https://github.com/laravel/laravel.git
root@Laravel/var/www/html# cd laravel
root@Laravel/var/www/html# su tech
root@Laravel/var/www/html$ sudo composer install
root@Laravel/var/www/html$ su root
root@Laravel:~# cd

Step #05: Setup permission on your project directory.

root@Laravel:~# chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/html/laravel
root@Laravel:~# chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/laravel
root@Laravel:~# chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/laravel/storage
root@Laravel:~# cd /var/www/html/laravel/
root@Laravel:~# mv .env.example .env
root@Laravel:~# php artisan key:generate
root@Laravel:~# mysql -u root -p

Mysql root user password is blank so you can login without root password on your mysql terminal. Then create database user and password.

create database laravel_db;
create user laravel_user@localhost identified by 'laravel_user@123';
GRANT CREATE, ALTER, DROP, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT, REFERENCES, RELOAD on *.* TO 'laravel_user'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
grant all privileges on laravel_db.* to laravel_user@localhost;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
\q

Add database name, database user name and database password into .env file.

root@Laravel:~# vi .env

Insert below details into .env file.

laravel_db
laravel_user
laravel_user@123

Run below command for migrate.

root@Laravel:~# php artisan migrate

Step #06: Setup Apache web config file for properly working Laravel.

root@Laravel:~# vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

Insert or change your config as like below.

DocumentRoot /var/www/html/laravel/public
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/html/laravel>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Then setup permission and restart Apache web service using below command.

root@Laravel:~# chmod 777 -R /var/www/html/laravel
root@Laravel:~# systemctl restart apache2

Then access your server ip address http://10.66.10.8/
