do you have env file in root of the project ? – John Lobo Oct 24 '21 at 07:55 — John Lobo, Oct 24 '21 at 07:55

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 something like base64:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

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

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