I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 on my machine. I installed composer and then laravel in the document root i.e. /var/www

I also gave -R 777 persmission to folder laravel present in directory /var/www

Then I go to directory laravel using cd /var/www/laravel and run the following command php artisan and I got to see all the available commands there.

Then I typed in php artisan key:generate and got the error 

[ErrorException]  file_get_contents(/var/www/laravel/.env): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

enter image description here Here I got stuck actually, can someone please help me in this regard?

Thanks.
