Laravel 5.4 and higher version ( Specified key was too long when doing migration)

Specify a smaller length for your e-mail:
$table->string('email', 250);
Which is the default, actually:
$table->string('email');
And you should be good.
For Laravel 5.4 you can find a solution in this Laravel 5.4: Specified key was too long error, Laravel News post:
As outlined in the Migrations guide to fix this all you have to do is edit your AppServiceProvider.php file and inside the boot method set a default string length:
namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
public function boot() { Schema::defaultStringLength(191); }
