Herd is a blazing fast, native Laravel and PHP development environment for
Windows. It includes everything you need to get started with Laravel
development, including PHP and nginx. Once you install Herd, you're ready to
start developing with Laravel.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


FEATURES


THE FASTEST ENVIRONMENT AROUND

Herd uses native binaries for PHP, nginx, and other services, making it faster
than other PHP development environments.

No containers, VMs, or wonky virtualization methods – just plain binaries as it
should be.


EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET STARTED

Herd includes binaries for Composer, the Laravel installer, and Expose, making
them available to your CLI automatically.

This makes it possible to manage your sites via Powershell or use the site
wizard of Herd.


UNLOCK YOUR REAL PRODUCTIVITY

Herd Pro comes with services for databases, caches, queues, storage, and
realtime applications, changing the way you work.

You can manage everything you ever need from one beautiful application.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pro Feature


BLAZING FAST DEBUGGING

Herd Pro gives you a powerful interface to help you watch and collect your debug
information.

All of your application's dump() and dd() calls will be beautifully formatted
and can be filtered from Herd's separate Dump window.

Just keep using dump() as usual – we will take care of the rest.

Route::get('/', function () {
    dump(config('app.name'));
    dump(auth()->user());
});

COMMONLY
ASKED
QUESTIONS

Is there a Linux version available?

There are currently no plans for a Linux version of Herd, and we believe that
Linux users are more comfortable installing and running their development
environment in general. We regularly evaluate our decisions and this might
change in the future.

Which PHP versions are supported?

Herd ships with the option to install PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3. Herd's
automatic updater regularly checks for new versions and allows you to update to
the latest version via the Herd UI.

Which PHP extensions are included?

Herd includes the following extensions:
bz2, curl, exif, ffi, fileinfo, gd, gmp, intl, mbstring, mysqli, openssl, pdo,
pdo_mysql, pdo_pgsql, pdo_sqlite, pgsql, shmop, soap, sockets, sodium, sqlite3
and zip.

Can I install additional PHP extensions?

Yes, you can manually compile and install additional PHP extensions by compiling
them manually via PECL and Homebrew.

On how many devices can I activate a Herd Pro license?

You can activate every Herd Pro license key on two devices at the same time. If
you get a new device, you can simply disable old activations in the license
management portal and activate them on the new device.

Every Herd Team license key comes with one activation. You can reset license
keys and assign them to other team members at any time.

How can I buy licenses for bigger teams?

If your team is bigger than 10 developers, they are usually grouped into more
than one team. Please buy multiple team licenses, you can manage them all in one
account.

Is there a trial for Herd Pro?

No, there isn't. However, the official documentation will get you a long way in
understanding all additional features.

All purchases are also covered by a 14-day refund policy.
