The obvious starting point for learning Laravel is the official docs: 
https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/installation - also check out the Bootcamp 
linked from there.

For asking Laravel specific questions I'd suggest a Laravel specific 
chat / forum is your best bet. There's a number of venues that fit this 
description:

* Official Discord (linked from the Laravel site footer): 
https://discord.gg/laravel
* Project GitHub Discussions: 
https://github.com/laravel/framework/discussions
* Laracasts Forums (semi-official project forums): 
https://laracasts.com/discuss
* https://www.reddit.com/r/laravel/

Feel free to ask questions on this list too, but I would suggest you're 
likely to get a better response rate on the above resources.  This list 
is more focused on "vanilla PHP", so answers here may not necessarily 
follow "the Laravel way", and chat / forums tend to be more popular, 
particularly with many Laravel users.

In general I would suggest it's unlikely you'll find any one resource 
that provides a tutorial that gives you exactly what you want. You are 
going to have to piece together knowledge and adapt what they teach you 
to what you want to achieve.
