title: Installing laravel on existing project
body: <p>I'm developing a laravel application and my computer die.
  Now I want to get my project from the repository (Bitbucket + Git) but thanks to the git ignore file, the vendor folder is missing. I can't do a composer install on my project because is not allowed (the directory should be empty). The structure of my project is the same as the laravel installation except that I renamed the public folder.</p>
  
  <p>I found this thread but did not solve my problem.</p>

  <p>I wanna know the best practice or way to do this and i don't think that copy and paste the folder of my project to a fresh install of larevel should be the way.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
