Thank you for the links
I had worked through both but information in the first is just plain 
wrong and the second has no information at all on installing Angular, 
sure you can down load it, as I did but there is no clue what to do next.

The comments in the first are absolutely correct. Tutorials are crap and 
wrong, information is out of date and wrong, in short nothing works. I 
started on a tutorial written mid 2012 and even the first example of 5 
lines does not work.
Paths they use are incorrect, commands are left out without explanation.

I got Slim working but without Angular it does not correctly display data.
Golly for modern apps, the whole thing is indeed about 8-10 years behind 
Drupal, Django and Rails. From experience to date, I personally could 
not recommend it for creating web apps. Time spent on just getting it on 
to a machine is days wasted.

They seem to have missed a small point with Laravel.phar. If one cannot 
install it on the server in /usr/local/bin/ then you can't use the 
application you develop. Saving the file system as a .phar does not 
solve this small issue. go figure!

Quite perplexed!
