I've installed the client and I did an update using composer dump autoload but I still end up with the same error. After installing via composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle:~6.0 in the projects directory.

 $client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();

Why isn' it working and why is it even referencing the wrong directory?

You're going to want to get acquainted with PHP namespaces.

Most files in Laravel are namespaced. Calls to functions within a namespace start within that namespace, with two exceptions:

If you start the class name with a \, that tells PHP to start at the root-level namespace:

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();

Or, you can put:

use GuzzleHttp\Client;

at the top of the file (you'll see a lot of these already throughout Laravel's default files) and then do

$client = new Client();

You might have not installed guzzle.

Run composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle to install it
