LaraGonzo is a repackaged version ofLaragon (currently v6), with some modifications and a customized setup (the installer).

I made these modifications for personal use, enhancing some of Laragon’s functionalities and simplifying tasks. I figured, why not share it with the world? Ja?! 😉

❓ Supported Windows Versions and Architecture?

Supports 64-bit architecture only, with a minimum of Windows 8. While tests were done on Windows 7, many things will break (e.g.,PHP 8.3^* and Mailpit), and Windows 7 is already EOL (End of Life), FYI.

❓ Can it be installed on top of an existing Laragon 6 installation?

Yes. If the setup detects an existing Laragon installation, it will run in extraction mode only.

❓ I need another components, can I run the setup again?

Yes. Absolutely.

❓ Will it remove anything from my existing installation?

No. In the setup wizard, checked components will be installed, and unchecked components won't be installed. That's it. It won't remove existing components from your Laragon folder, even if you uncheck them in the setup wizard.

I hope the original author of Laragon,leokhoa, continues working on a new version of Laragon. There is so much potential, and many more features could be added.

LaraGonzo leverages Laragon’s flexibility and automation but not too much can be change since most of the automation is hard-coded in the executable itself.
