laravel installation of 5.1 LTS compared to 5.2 in their docs is identical

http://ift.tt/23c3X3S

composer global require "laravel/installer"
laravel new blog

ok cool, seems simple

now let's check out how to install 5.2

composer global require "laravel/installer"
laravel new blog

right, exactly the same. I guess the 5.1 installation is actually the 5.2 installation and their docs is buggy. That is, starting from the very very first step, the installation, already wrong.

I hoped I wouldn't have to start that way.

so i guess i need to use the composer install?
