I am following the documentation at the link below: https://www.laraship.com/docs/laraship/installation-instructions/installation/ The issue I am facing is that when I run composer update I have also used composer installI am getting the following warning: Do not run Composer as root/super user! See https://getcomposer.org/root for details Though, it starts updating the dependencies but it does not show in the terminal that anything is actually happening. At the end, I get the following message. /usr/local/bin/composer: line 8: 118700 Killed \"$COMPOSER_BIN\" \"$@\"

Hello,
can you try running composer with another user than root ?

I created another user “atif” (having sudo group).
Switched to user “atif”.
Tried “composer update”. This time got no warning but the output was same: line8: 123153 Killed “$COMPOSER_BIN” “$@”

However, I ran the command “php artisan key:generate” according to the documentation but got the following error:

PHP Warning: require(/var/www/vhosts/vibrant-hypatia.104-236-107-140.plesk.page/httpdocs/vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/vibrant-hypatia.104-236-107-140.plesk.page/httpdocs/artisan on line 18
