In your composer.json file you should have this:

"laravel/framework": "^6.0",
"php": "^7.2",
"phpunit/phpunit": "^8.0"

and then in console execute composer update, so if you are using the helpers String and Array on this case you need install the package laravel/helpers with this command:

composer require laravel/helpers

and after that change the helpers with calling to methods of classes Illuminate\Support\Str and Illuminate\Support\Arr, if you have other issues please share here your composer.json for see more details.
