Class Carbon\Carbon not found

I recently added a package to my Laravel 4 site and now anything that uses Eloquent (or at least Eloquent with any reference to date/time) is showing a 500 error that states:

Class 'Carbon\Carbon' Not Found.

I tried running 

composer install
composer update
composer dump-autoload

In the problem I had, I solved it by changing the date from:

date: '{{\Carbon::today->format('Y-m-d') }}'

to

date: '{{\Carbon\Carbon::today()->format("Y-m-d") }}'

For Laravel 8.x Please add

'Carbon' => Illuminate\Support\Carbon::class,

in your app/config/app.php

under aliases

or if you only want to use it in your controller

then please add

use Illuminate\Support\Carbon;

you need to add the line:

'Carbon' => 'Carbon\Carbon',

to the bottom of the 'aliases' array in app/config/app.php this will make the carbon library available everywhere in laravel.

I had this problem once when I updated a project from gitlab. The below command worked for me.

composer dump-autoload

Some times specifying prefer-dist prefixed by “--” (aka “bare double dash”) at the end or suffixing at the end of create-project also matters while installing...

The below command was working fine in laravel 5.5 without getting an error

composer create-project laravel/laravel blog  "5.5.*" --prefer-dist

But when I was about to begin installing Laravel 5.6 with this below command

composer create-project laravel/laravel blog --prefer-dist

I used to get

Whoops\Exception\ErrorException : Class 'Carbon\Carbon' not found

After referring to the official Installation Documentation 

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

After executing the above command there were no exceptions raised, therefore installation succeeded, thereby generating a base64 hash key

For all updated version you just need to

use Carbon\Carbon;

and for the global use, you can add this in app.php

'Carbon' => 'Carbon\Carbon',

Yes, it can work as @oli-folkerd 's answer. However, as seen in Laracasts (Laravel 5 Fundamentals series Video 10 "forms" min 16:55), almost in top of your ControllerClass php file, just add the following (or import the class if your php editor allows you do so):

use Carbon\Carbon;

Now you can simply use Carbon

$input['published_at'] = Carbon::now();

without having to add Carbon\

Not saying this is work for you, but those are steps that usually fix Laravel, when the problem is not on your source code, of course:

cd /your/application/dir

rm bootstrap/compiled.php

rm -rf vendor

composer install --no-dev
