title: No vendor/autoload.php file in Laravel folder after installation
body: <p>I am on Debian and I installed Laravel 5 in the htdocs folder of XAMPP using :
  <code>sudo composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel5</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Then I started my Apache server using : <code>sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Then, I went to this address : <a href="http://localhost/laravel5/public" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/laravel5/public</a></p>
  
  <p>But I got this error :</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Warning: require(/opt/lampp/htdocs/laravel5/public/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type in /opt/lampp/htdocs/laravel5/public/index.php on line 24</p>
    
    <p>Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/opt/lampp/htdocs/laravel5/public/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/opt/lampp/lib/php') in /opt/lampp/htdocs/laravel5/public/index.php on line 24</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>And indeed, there is no <code>vendor/autoload.php</code> file in the <code>laravel5</code> folder. Here is the tree of this folder:</p>
  
  <pre><code>laravel5
  |-app
  | |-...
  |-artisan
  |-bootstrap
  |-composer.json
  |-config
  | |-...
  |-database
  | |-...
  |-package.json
  |-phpunit.xml
  |-public
  | |-...
  |-package.json 
  |-readme.md
  |-resources
  | |-...
  |-routes
  | |-...
  |-server.php
  |-storage
  | |-...
  |-tests
  | |-...
  |-webpack.mic.js
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What did I do wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your help.</p>
