OR “composer update” might be needed. You may install the application’s dependencies by navigating to the application’s directory and executing the following command. This command uses a small Docker container containing PHP and Composer to install the application’s dependencies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mkdir -p vendor && docker run --rm \\\n    -u \"$(id -u):$(id -g)\" \\\n    -v \"$(pwd):\/var\/www\/html\" \\\n    -w \/var\/www\/html \\\n    laravelsail\/php83-composer:latest \\\n    composer install --ignore-platform-reqs\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
