How can I allowed more memory for laravel

Question

I have just installed Laravel on my web server but after I run the php artisan serve command and navigate to my server's Laravel URL I am getting this error:

[Tue Oct 15 11:38:54 2019] PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /Users/apple/eAT/vendor/composer/ClassLoader.php on line 444

You can increase the memory allocation to PHP by editing the memory_limit variable in php.ini file.

Alternatively, you can edit the .htaccess file and add php_value memory_limit 256M to set memory limit for specific application where 256 is the memory allowed to the application. This, however, isn't tested by me.

You may need to restart your PHP server.

where can I find that file because I am using laravel – Olivia Saina Oct 15 '19 at 09:10
You can find the file in your PHP installation directory in windows. If you are using XAMPP, it should be under `path/to/xampp/php/php.ini`. It really depends upon your environment. – MD.Tabish Mahfuz Oct 15 '19 at 09:26
I am using sqlite – Olivia Saina Oct 15 '19 at 09:28
`sqlite` is the database. What about the webserver? And the OS? – MD.Tabish Mahfuz Oct 15 '19 at 09:30
the web server is localhost – Olivia Saina Oct 15 '19 at 09:34
No, what i meant was that you must have a webserver that would create a server on your localhost. If you are using windows, maybe you installed `XAMPP` to do that or if you are on Ubuntu, then you might have `nginx` or `apache`. – MD.Tabish Mahfuz Oct 15 '19 at 09:39
How did you setup your laravel application? You must have installed PHP right? – MD.Tabish Mahfuz Oct 15 '19 at 09:41
Or if you are still not sure. Open a Shell (CMD if you are using windows) and Just run `php --ini` and look for Loaded Configuration File in output for the location of php.ini used by your CLI – MD.Tabish Mahfuz Oct 15 '19 at 09:42
