This error mainly occurs when a user tries to open a Laravel project outside the project folder. Laravel can only execute the project if we open it inside the project folder.

That is what the error says ‘could not open input file‘. So whenever customers approach us with this error, we ask the customer to re-check the location where they execute the command.

2. Improper permissions of artisan

Sometimes the artisan may not be executable. If the user tries to execute the command, it cannot access it. And the user receives this error.

So to make artisan executable, we use the command

chmod +x artisan
