I am trying to generate APP_KEY !!!

Answer 1

At first generate APP_KEY with the command php artisan key:generate --show . It will print contents on your terminal which you can copy and paste wherever you want. In this case APP_KEY= value on your .env file.

Generated Key format will be someht base64:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Answer 2

It seems you are trying to run artisan command outside the project.

Make sure your terminal is tergeting to the exact project you want to trigger
