Answer 1

Make sure you have installed Docker Desktop https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop and WSL on Windows https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

In Docker Desktop, enable Integration with additional distros and select Ubuntu

Then make sure you use Windows Terminal https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk701

In Windows Terminal, select Ubuntu, which opens up the terminal in Ubuntu, then you can run curl -s https://laravel.build/example-app | bash successfully

Question is why don't they have THIS documented on the Laravel docker installation? – Wojcik

Can't believe this isn't part of the official docs. How tf is anyone supposed to figure that out without ending up exactly here?? Thank you sir/ma'am, looks like I owe you a warm whisky 😄 – Brassware

I had this exact thought. They should let people know with proper instructions to use laravel sail on desktop. since this is their default recommendations. – Eyesore

For others who may also be coming across issues with this, If you cannot see the ubuntu distro installed on docker desktop (for windows at least) you nee to run a powershell/cmd command to install it before it is available to select as a distro. wsl --install -d ubuntu – Centenarian

Answer 2

I use the PowerShell terminal on Windows when I need to create a new project with Laravel. If I encounter the same problem, the main solution that can solve it is to install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). In the Windows PowerShell terminal, you can simply type wsl after the command:

curl -s "https://laravel.build/example-app" | bash

To start the installation process. And the process after installation is the same. Important comment that I also use Docker for this project.
