installer

Enables installing old releases of laravel.

Run laravel new blog --5.3 and it will use composer rather than the desfault, effectively running ```composer create-project laravel/laravel blog "5.3.x"`

Works exactly the same as the official installer except for installing old versions of laravel - 5.3, 5.2 and 5.1.

laravel new blog uses the same methods as origin laravel/laravel for master latest, same with laravel new blog --dev for the dev branch of laravel

own personal notes to pull this down - use with caution

1.) composer global require laravel/installer as normal

2.) run composer global info to find location of local global composer.json

3.) edit your local composer.json :

Before (Using official pakagist laravel/laravel repo)

{
    "require":
    {
        "laravel/installer": "dev-master"
    }
}

After (Overriding with this fork)

{
    "repositories":
    [
            {
                "type": "vcs",
                "url": "https://github.com/richpeers/installer"
            }
    ],
    "require":
    {
        "laravel/installer": "dev-master"
    }
}

4. run composr global update
