The above mentioned are the dependencies or extensions for the server that are essential components for installation. All the green checks would ensure the presence of all the above mentioned dependencies. In case, if the system doesn’t have any of these dependencies already installed, a red cross mark would appear in the corresponding column of the missing component. So make sure to install all the dependencies and extensions to ensure the smooth running and installation of the app.
By clicking the next, the wizard would ask for the permissions as shown below.
You need to grant the directed permissions respectively for instance.

Our laravel installer works perfect on every environment, However some exceptions may occur on environment to environment change .
For Example
Sometime user provide wrong credentials for database, which gives an exception. our laravel installer is handling this exception in a way, It shows message to user to restart its local server if user is providing wrong credentials once.

if user face session expire (it occurs due to providing wrong credentials many time.) page after providing wrong credentials on live server , user should must clean cache on live server.
