title: Laravel : Copying Files vs Using Composer
body: <p>I have a question regarding Laravel and Composer.</p>
  
  <p>If I use composer, install laravel, create a project and then create controllers, views, etc via command prompt, will it work on my web server if I simply upload these files?</p>
  
  <p>What I'm trying to ask is, is there is difference between using php artisan, composer, etc to create my files, and just directly copying them?</p>
