To update Foreman, you may use the foreman self-update command.

To get started you'll want to generate a default / blank Foreman template. You can do this with the command:

foreman scaffold /path/to/my/template.json

Note: If you provide a directory instead of a file, Foreman will create a foreman-tpl.json file in the given directory.

A default Foreman template looks like this:

{
    "structure": {
        "copy": [
            {
                "from": "",
                "to": ""
            }
        ],
        "move": [
            {
                "from": "",
                "to": ""
            }
        ],
        "delete": [

        ],
        "touch": [

        ],
        "mkdir": [

        ]
    },
    "composer": {
        "require": [
            {
                "package": "laravel/framework",
                "version": "4.1.*"
            }
        ],
        "require-dev": [
            {
                "package": "",
                "version": ""
            }
        ],
        "autoload": {
            "classmap": [
                "app/commands",
                "app/controllers",
                "app/models",
                "app/database/migrations",
                "app/database/seeds",
                "app/test/TestCase.php"
            ],
            "psr-0": [

            ],
            "psr-4": [

            ]
        }
    }
}

For structure references you can use either an absolute path (to a file or directory) or a path relative to your new application's root.

In order to use your Foreman template to generate a new Laravel application you just need to use the build command.

The first argument is the absolute path to where you want to install the application, the second argument is the location of the template file.

foreman build /install/app/here /path/to/template.json

Now Foreman will generate your Laravel app with all your configuration applied.
