One more thing ...

Currently, Laravel 4 checks if the PHP **mcrypt** extension is loaded and die if it is not !
So, to complete the installation, we have to bypass this check.
But unfortunately, this check is done in the `Illuminate\Foundation\start.php` script, at the heart of the framework bootstrap process.

To bypass the check, change the `start.php` script in the `vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation` folder as follow.

if ( false and ! extension_loaded('mcrypt'))
{
die('Laravel requires the Mcrypt PHP extension.'.PHP_EOL);

exit(1);
}
So, to complete the installation, we have to bypass this check. Add the following code to your `composer.json` file to let the `post-install-cmd` handle this:
```json
"scripts": {
"post-install-cmd": [
"sed -i.bak 's/MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128/null/' vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Encryption/Encrypter.php",
"sed -i.bak 's/MCRYPT_MODE_CBC/null/' vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Encryption/Encrypter.php",
"sed -i.bak 's/echo/\\/\\/echo/' vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/start.php",
"sed -i.bak 's/exit/\\/\\/exit/' vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/start.php",
"php artisan optimize"
],
...
},
```
