Why do I get a laravel error while creating a new project?

Question

When I type laravel new blog I get the following error.

In RequestException.php line 113:

Server error: GET http://cabinet.laravel.com/latest.zi

Answer 1

Another issue I was having is that my env variable for Composer\vendor\bin was stored within a windows.old folder and I could not find username/AppData in the normal place. Make sure you show all hidden folders and select the bin folder from the right root folders.
