Answer 1 · 2016-10-24T10:13:32.000Z

Solution appears to be:

sudo composer self-update

based on my research finding similar (but not exactly the same) error "Could not scan for classes inside"...

Reference (found by my research):

http://laravel.io/forum/04-26-2016-runtimeexception-could-not-scan-for-classes-inside-which-does-not-appear-to-be-a-file-nor-a-folder?page=1#reply-31175

I then did:

composer install --prefer-dist

The --prefer-dist was because of a time out issue (perhaps not related to the original issue)

Reference:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18917768/why-composer-install-timeouts-after-300-seconds#comment29394587_18917919

The install proceeds past the place where it halted before and looks like it completed.

I solved it by removing the core directory with rm -rf core and running composer install again

Yes! You have to remove the entire "core" directory, not just the files in it.
