Check .env file that MySQL database name matches with correct username and password.

Open terminal and type:

php artisan migrate

  migrate:fresh          Drop all tables and re-run all migrations
  migrate:install        Create the migration repository
  migrate:refresh        Reset and re-run all migrations
  migrate:reset          Rollback all database migrations
  migrate:rollback       Rollback the last database migration
  migrate:status         Show the status of each migration
