Command "tinker" is not defined - php

Question

After upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4, Follow the instructions:
In order to continue using the tinker Artisan command, you should also install the laravel/tinker package:
composer require laravel/tinker
Once the package has been installed, you should add" Laravel\Tinker\TinkerServiceProvider::class to the providers array in your config/app.php configuration file.
After hours of search..got this question but is not working.
Any ideas?

EDIT
Well, Looks like we need to register the command in our /Console/Kernel.php
Modify the $commands property. With this:
protected $commands = [
//
\Laravel\Tinker\Console\TinkerCommand::class,
];
After that, make a composer dump-autoload

Answer 1

If your project is earlier to Laravel 5.4. As sicne laravel 5.4 tinker comes as default with Laravel project
Step 1 : Install tinker
composer require laravel/tinker
Step 2 : Add provider class name into /config/app.php file
If you open the config/app.php file included with Laravel, you will see a providers array.
providers' => [ .
.
App\Providers\CountdownTimersServiceProvider::class,
Laravel\Tinker\TinkerServiceProvider::class
],

Answer 2

Install Tinker:
composer require "laravel/tinker". Then set the providers under config/app.php
like that:
'providers' => [
...
...
Laravel\Tinker\TinkerServiceProvider::class,
],

Answer 3

I ran into this on a production server, but not with the very same code in my development environment. Turns out that I had my configuration (and routes) cached on the server and that regenerating the configuration cache made the tinker command suddenly show up again.
