Can't download Laravel?

Question

linux

Hello! I installed Bitnami (locale type for linux), installed laravel there, but when I open public I see an error, it says in the console: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error), before that I tried to install LAMP, there I had the same error, I don’t understand what’s wrong, there is no .ENV file either this time or the last time, and it seems to me that it doesn’t load completely, because it loads very fast.

When installing Laravel from scratch or during the first deployment, you need to create your own .env file, for example, based on the example that comes with the distribution (command for Linux), execute all commands in the root of the project directory:
After that, you need to generate a key that Laravel actively uses for encryption, csrf generation, etc.
php artisan key:generate
