Laravel MustVerifyEmail doesn't exist?

Question

I am developing a web application using laravel.

I want to implement email verification via https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/verification

I modified my User model to use MustVerifyEmail interface:

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

use App\SecurityQustion;

class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail
{
    use Notifiable;

And I am getting the following error:

Interface 'Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail' not found

I verified in my vendor/laravel.../Auth/ folder and the file itself doesn't appear to be there.

To be noted:

The Auth functionality works good, it was installed with php artisan make:auth, and the migrations generated were runned, so this is not the issue.

Oh I understand, it appears this feature was only added in 5.7... — John Doe
Out-of-the-box email verification was only added in Laravel 5.7 laravel.com/docs/5.7/releases — Rwd
