## Introduction
Laravel Tinker is a powerful REPL for the Laravel framework.
## Installation
To get started with Laravel Tinker, simply run:
composer require laravel/tinker
If you are using Laravel 5.5+, there is no need to manually register the service provider. However, if you are using an earlier version of Laravel, register the `TinkerServiceProvider` in your `app` configuration file:
```php
'providers' => [
// Other service providers...
Laravel\Tinker\TinkerServiceProvider::class,
],
```
## Basic Usage
From your console, execute the `php artisan tinker` command.
