Target class [App\Http\Middleware\HandleInertiaRequests] does not exist

Question

Here I am starting my laravel application using:

user@Grieg:~/DevProjects/first-app $ ./vendor/bin/sail up

But when I try to open http://localhost I am receiving these errors:

Illuminate
 \ 
Contracts
 \ 
Container
 \ 
BindingResolutionException
PHP 8.2.6
10.11.0
Target class [App\Http\Middleware\HandleInertiaRequests] does not exist.

Here I see it in the \App\Http\kernel.php file:

protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
        \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
        \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
        \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
        \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
        HandleInertiaRequests::class,
        \Illuminate\Http\Middleware\AddLinkHeadersForPreloadedAssets::class,
    ],

Here is the request:

   -X GET \

   -H 'connection: keep-alive' \
   -H 'cache-control: max-age=0' \

Does anyone have any suggestions? How can I download or import the required dependencies?

I switched to a new laravel breeze template to blade from vue so that no it longer requires Inertia / HandleInertiaRequests but it still had that reference in my Kernel.php, which is why I am getting the above error. To see the code changes that fixed the error please check:

$ git log -p Kernel.php

    -Changed from breeze vuejs to blade
