You only type in console:
php artisan key:generate
And if your app.php not change this Key, change manually.
Next if you should then happen to get this error message:
[ErrorException]
file_get_contents(/path/to/my/project/.env): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Then make a copy of the .env.example
file and try again:
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
