    Laravel removed the `mcrypt` requirement a long time ago. What version of Laravel are you using – apokryfos Feb 25 '20 at 07:08

Go to your php.ini file ebanle mycrypt extension. Check if mycrypt is present in your extension directory. if not found then download mycrpyt from https://pecl.php.net/ (Windows)

on Linux 

$ sudo apt install php-dev libmcrypt-dev php-pear
$ sudo pecl channel-update pecl.php.net
$ sudo pecl install mcrypt-1.0.1
