How to install Laravel 4 profiler

Question

I'm a Ubuntu/git/composer noob, and I'm trying to follow the installation instructions here.

After running the php artisan config:publish loic-sharma/profiler command I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Profiler\ProfilerServiceProvider' not found in /var/www/epcr/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/ProviderRepository.php on line 158

I'm assuming the problem is that I haven't downloaded the code, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about doing that.

Answer 1

Most packages require you to manually add service provider in app/config/app.php. There is an array of providers inside. Some providers require also facade alias.

So take a look at documentation, if it is provider, then it should be documented.

e.g.

'Miro\JSONSuite\JSONSuiteServiceProvider'

Answer 2

Try running composer dump-autoload

Answer 3

I needed to run composer update after I added the require to my composer.json file. After that I had a few permissions I needed to update and it worked after that.
