Its easier to just clone repo and run composer update, npm install, etc. That is what I did. I had to deploy a second time and everything worked. Oh, don't forget .env values. In short, I never ran an install command.

Trouble Installing Spark
I created a server using laravel forge. I installed the latest node and composer. I installed the spark installer and registered a token. When I run: spark new myapp This happens:
forge@myserver:~$ spark new myapp
sh: 1: laravel: not found
Downloading Spark...

Now, this was a while ago I know, but I ran into the same problem and really wanted to use the Spark installer, for my own peace of mind.
As it's the first Google result, I thought I'd give the correct solution.
The problem lies in the creation of the fresh Laravel application in the Spark installer, the first line error gave it away:
sh: 1: laravel: not found
This is due to the global composer bin folder not being in the PATH variable, and therefore the laravel new ... can't run to scaffold the fresh application. To add it temporarily for the current session, run the following:
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin"
Following which, spark new myapp will now run.
Note: Global composer bin directory may differ from above, which is from a Forge server.

I'm on Forge, and after I added the following two lines to the bottom of my .bashrc file and restarted my session, everything worked:
# Laravel Installer
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin"
# Spark Installer
export PATH="$PATH:/home/forge/spark-installer/"
