Laravel - Could not find driver exception with sqlite

I'm using Laravel on Ubuntu 17.4. When I type this command: php artisan migrate:refresh I get the following issue:

[Illuminate\Database\QueryException] could not find driver (SQL: select * from sqlite_master where type = 'table' and name = migrations)
[PDOException]
could not find driver

I tried to install sqlite driver by running sudo apt-get install php7.1-sqlite3 but I got the following issue:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package php7.1-sqlite3
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php7.1-sqlite3'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.1-sqlite3'.

Also my php version is: PHP 7.1.5-1+deb.sury.org~yakkety+2.

Are you sure your Sqlite configurations have been set well? Because I had the same issue on my Ubuntu 17.04 and it was solved with

sudo apt-get install php7.1-sqlite3

Can I know how you configured your sqlite?
