Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Somehow it's searching for the config file you probably haven't published yet. Try to publish the file and then run another composer install

[lorvent]

but without installing (its a fresh install so laravel also not installed yet so php artisan doesn't work)
we can't publish config

[Mahtabalam]

I would suggest to check the vendor\phpoffice\phpexcel folder if it couldn't install the laravelpanel completely. Comment the line 'autosize-method' =>PHPExcel_Shared_Font::AUTOSIZE_METHOD_APPROX, and run "composer require phpoffice/phpexcel". phpexcel will be published then comment out the line...

Same error:

I would suggest to check the vendor\phpoffice\phpexcel

Uploaded that and its fine thanks I didn't know what I missed.

This error happened to me when I was updating the version of Laravel-Excel.
I updated the composer, but it does not delete the package settings in config/excel.php.
In this file there should not be an index [autosize-method].

[patrickbrouwers]

Updating the package should never touch your config/excel.php . Closing this ticket as the original issue was resolved a long time ago.

I ran into a similar problem installing a new server with my app:

`
composer install

Installing dependencies (including require-dev) from lock file
Nothing to install or update
Package phpoffice/phpexcel is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use phpoffice/phpspreadsheet instead.

Just ran into this issue twice after installing mattexcel 2.1 in two different servers. Should check if it can be patched in 2.1

[LynX39]

I have similar problem how @zardilior in new installation server. Please provide ti reopen issue and fix for 2.1 patch. Thanks.

My error in a remote:
Fatal error: Uncaught Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError: Class 'PHPExcel_Shared_Font' not found in .../config/excel.php:182
In my local Homestead work fine.
