PHP Laravel setup

Question

I am staring to learn about php frameworks and decided to go for laravel. I use netbeans 8.2 IDE to develop my projects and I followed the following instructions:

Install Composer on your system
Installer the Composer plugin for Netbeans (It's in the plugins menu, under the PHP category).
New Project > PHP Application
Go though the wizard, and setup your project. the last step should be named Composer
In the last step, search (under Token:) for laravel
Select laravel/laravel: The Laravel Framework. and move it to the selected frameworks on the right
Click Finish

So far so good, however, in the new project that is created, I do not see any of the file structure that i think should be there.

What I see: The file structure i see

What i think i should see: The file directory as explained in this: https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/structure

So my question is: Are there any steps I missed or I should do next to get this file structure already set up?

PS: I also know that I need the IDE helper to get autocompletion

Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my question

Why aren't you using the artisan cli tools. For example : you can start a new laravel project with laravel new myProject. Using the artisan cli utilities will make your life easier. — Abrar

dont reply too much on IDEs, you will not learn the core of it — msonowal

its the wrong way to start your laravel learning. download sublime text, install like in the documentation, and start using the artisan cli as recommended. — GabMic

Thanks for the quick responses. No I have never used composer before and will definitely check out artisan CLI tools — mushood badulla

I suggest that you follow installation procedure form the Laravel documentation. Since you have Composer installed on your system, you can enter the command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel projectname

After that you can simply open your Laravel project folder in Netbeans, as a project. You can then very easily run your project in Netbeans by following this tutorial: http://markoivancic.from.hr/running-laravel-5-in-netbeans-8-using-php-built-in-web-server/
