Overcoming the 'RM is not recognized as an internal or external command' Error in Laravel

When working on a Laravel project, you might encounter an annoying error when trying to create a new project with the command laravel new blog. If you see the message 'RM is not recognized as an internal or external command,' don't worry! You’re not alone, and we have a straightforward solution for you.

The Problem

The issue arises when the Laravel command tries to execute the RM command, which is typically used in UNIX-based systems for removing files or directories. However, if you are using Windows Command Prompt, this command won't be recognized, leading to the error message you're seeing. This often happens because certain commands that work seamlessly on UNIX systems are not available on Windows by default.

How to Fix the Error

Instead of using the original command that causes this error, you can use an alternative command to create a new Laravel project. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

Step 1: Open Command Prompt

Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.

Type cmd and hit Enter to open Command Prompt.

Step 2: Use Composer to Create the Project

Instead of the laravel new blog command, which relies on the RM command, utilize Composer directly with the following command:

What does this command do?

composer: This is the dependency manager for PHP, which Laravel uses to handle packages.

create-project: This instructs Composer to create a new project.

--prefer-dist: This flag tells Composer to download packaged distributions rather than cloning the repository, speeding up the process.

laravel/laravel: This specifies the Laravel package that you want to install for your new project.

blog: This is the name of the folder that will be created for your project.

Step 3: Wait for Installation to Complete

After entering the command, Composer will download the necessary files and set up your Laravel project in a new directory called "blog." This may take some time depending on your internet speed and system performance.

Conclusion

Encountering the 'RM is not recognized as an internal or external command' error can be frustrating, but knowing how to bypass it with the Composer method can save you time and trouble. By using the composer create-project command, you can successfully create a new Laravel project on Windows without further complications.

Now you’re ready to dive into your Laravel development journey! If you run into any other issues, feel free to seek help from the community or check the official Laravel documentation for more guidance.

Happy coding!
