Answer 1

You need couple of things to do. I also faced this issue and fixed it by following these two steps

1. Go to app.php in bootstrap directory and uncomment or modify this line.

   // $app->register(App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class);
   

2. Now you need to define boot()function in AppServiceProviderfile

       public function boot()
       {
          Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
       }
   

Then you are good to go!
