Answer 1

Not figure out what actual problem is but what i did is deleted laravelDemo folder and run above command and it worked.

i have also tried composer update --no-scripts which will updated all the composer dependencies successfully.

May be there were some issue in installing the project.

Answer 2

check that the project contains the artisan file, it's a php.

<?php

define('LARAVEL_START', microtime(true));

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php';



$kernel = $app->make(Illuminate\Contracts\Console\Kernel::class);

$status = $kernel->handle(
    $input = new Symfony\Component\Console\Input\ArgvInput,
    new Symfony\Component\Console\Output\ConsoleOutput
);


$kernel->terminate($input, $status);

exit($status);`

The problem is you type the command out of laravelDemo folder. please go into this folder by running: cd laravelDemo and try again.
