How to install specific illuminate mail

Illuminate Mail is a popular email marketing plugin for Laravel, and installing a specific version of it can be a bit tricky. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you install a specific version of Illuminate Mail:

Method 1: Composer

You can install Illuminate Mail using Composer, which is the package manager for PHP. Here's how:

  1. Open your terminal and navigate to your Laravel project directory.

  2. Run the following command to install Illuminate Mail:

    composer require illuminate/mail:~5.8

    Replace ~5.8 with the specific version of Illuminate Mail you want to install. For example, if you want to install version 5.8.33, use 5.8.33.

  3. Once the installation is complete, run the following command to update your Laravel project's dependencies:

    composer update

    Method 2: Manual Installation

If you don't want to use Composer, you can manually install Illuminate Mail by downloading the package and copying the files to your Laravel project.

  1. Download the Illuminate Mail package from the official GitHub repository: https://github.com/illuminate/mail
  2. Extract the downloaded package to a directory on your computer.
  3. Copy the Illuminate\Mail directory from the extracted package to your Laravel project's vendor directory.
  4. Open your Laravel project's composer.json file and add the following line to the require section:
    "illuminate/mail": "5.8.33"

    Replace 5.8.33 with the specific version of Illuminate Mail you want to install.

  5. Run the following command to update your Laravel project's dependencies:
    composer update

    Method 3: Laravel Package Manager

If you're using Laravel 5.5 or later, you can use the Laravel Package Manager to install Illuminate Mail.

  1. Open your terminal and navigate to your Laravel project directory.
  2. Run the following command to install Illuminate Mail:
    php artisan package:install illuminate/mail

    Replace 5.8.33 with the specific version of Illuminate Mail you want to install.

That's it! Once you've installed Illuminate Mail, you can use it in your Laravel project by importing the Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProvider class in your config/app.php file.

Remember to update your Laravel project's composer.json file and run composer update to ensure that all dependencies are up-to-date.
