Would you please help me to find out my installation problem of Laravel. I installed composer then installed laravel. When i try to run the project through php artisan serve, it gives following error.
Warning: require(/opt/lampp/htdocs/laravel_project/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /opt/lampp/htdocs/laravel_project/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17
Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/opt/lampp/htdocs/laravel_project/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/opt/lampp/lib/php') in /opt/lampp/htdocs/laravel_project/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17
I mention some things that the installed laravel folder contains totalling 120 items and total size 651kb. inside the projct directory, there is no folder named vendor. i'm using ubuntu 16.
