Whoops, looks like something went wrong
<p>Before we get into this please, I can't stress this enough I don't know ANYTHING about Laravel so any help is very much appreciated and I'm always interested in learning.</p>

<p>Currently I am getting an issue that says this when I go to my website.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Whoops, looks like something went wrong.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>The issue has happened since I installed Laravel onto my server, through looking up some things I have learned that I am missing a file called <code>.env</code> please note that I am not familiar with WHAT this files does either all I know is that within my application it is in fact missing.</p>

<p>I seen some videos (<a href="https://youtu.be/DPDa43vULrM?t=102" rel="nofollow">here</a>) which explain a little about <code>.env</code> how ever he pulls up a console in this video which I also don't know how to do.</p>

<p>So all around, I'm just in a giant mess trying to understand this platform, any help relating to my issue would be incredible or even a page where I can learn how to solve issues like this for future reference.</p>

<p>After looking over the wikipedia page it has no direct reference to how to solve these types of issues, so I of course got lost.</p>
