 Make sure to place the `~/.composer/vendor/bin` directory in your PATH so the `laravel` executable can be located by your system.
 
-Once installed, the simple `laravel new` command will create a fresh Laravel installation in the directory you specify. For instance, `laravel new blog` would create a directory named `blog` containing a fresh Laravel installation with all dependencies installed. This method of installation is much faster than installing via Composer:

 ## Configuration
 
-The first thing you should do after installing Laravel is set your application key to a random string. If you installed Laravel via Composer, this key has probably already been set for you by the `key:generate` command.
+After installing Laravel, you may need to configure some permissions. Folders within the `storage` and the `bootstrap/cache` directories should be writable by your web server. If you are using the [Homestead](/docs/{{version}}/homestead) virtual machine, these permissions should already be set.
 
-Typically, this string should be 32 characters long. The key can be set in the `.env` environment file. If you have not renamed the `.env.example` file to `.env`, you may do that now. **If the application key is not set, your user sessions and other encrypted data will not be secure!**

 Laravel needs almost no other configuration out of the box. You are free to get started developing! However, you may wish to review the `config/app.php` file and its documentation. It contains several options such as `timezone` and `locale` that you may wish to change according to your application.
