Hi Bruce,

What you're seeing there is the Packagist project name syntax. Packagist 
is a repository for PHP tools, frameworks, libraries, etc.

The first 'laravel' there is the owner of the package space. They have 
many different packages (think of them like code repositories) 
available. The second 'laravel' is the name of the project you're 
installing. So, laravel/laravel means grab the laravel framework package 
from the laravel group.

If you have a look at the list of the other packages they offer at 
https://packagist.org/packages/laravel/ it should help to clear things 
up a bit.
