|
|
|
## What is Laragon?
|
|
|
|
Laragon is a portable, isolated, fast & powerful universal development environment for PHP, Node.js, Python. It is fast, lightweight, easy-to-use and easy-to-extend.
|
|
|
|
Laragon is great for building and managing modern web applications. It is focused on performance - designed around stability, simplicity, flexibility and freedom.
|
|
|
|
Laragon is very lightweight and will stay as lean as possible. The core binary itself is less than 6MB and uses around 4MB - 10MB RAM when running.
|
|
|
|
Laragon doesn't use Windows services. It has its own `service orchestration` which manages services asynchronously and non-blocking so you'll find things run fast & smoothly with Laragon.

- **Isolated**
|
|

|
|

*Laragon is trully isolated & portable. However, you may need to use the installer as it will detect and install missing run-time components that are required to run C++ applications built using Visual Studio such as `PHP, Apache` for you.*
