Laravel 5 Failed opening required bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php

Question

I have recently installed Laravel 5 via composer. I tried creating a new controller using artisan and I get the following error:

bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php. Failed to open stream: No such file or directory. The "vendor" folder does not exist.

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Run composer with --no-scripts

composer update --no-scripts   

This shall fix the issue. I tried this on Mac and Linux.

Answer 2

Which OS you are using ? For Windows : Go to Command Prompt

set path to www/{ur project}

For me : www/laravel5

Then type this command : composer install

It will automatically install all dependency in vendor/
