Laravel:I can’t Download a file

Question

I have tried several tutorials and researched similar problems here in stack,but without success ,previously I took the id of the file and it was passed as parameter and did not return anything.Now finally I can locate the file by name however the download not performed,it downloads an html and gives error on the server, besides which it does not take the format of the file.

        ]);

        $arquivo = new Arquivos;
        if (is_null($request->input('nome'))) {
            $arquivo->nome = str_replace('.' . $request->arquivo->extension(), '', $request->arquivo->getClientOriginalName());
        } else {
            $arquivo->nome = $request->input('nome');
        }
        $arquivo->tamanho = $request->arquivo->getClientSize();
        $arquivo->tipo = $request->arquivo->extension();
        $arquivo->caminho = 'files/' . $request->arquivo->storeAs('', str_slug($arquivo->nome) . '.' . $arquivo->tipo, 'upl_arquivos');
        $arquivo->save();
        return back()->with("Upload do arquivo '{$arquivo->nome}' realizado com sucesso.");

       Arquivos::destroy($request->id);
        return redirect('/templates');
    }

Index

  <div class="panel-footer" style="padding:0px;">
                        <table class="table">
                            <tr>
                                <th>Nome</th>
                                <th>Tipo</th>
                                <th></th>
                            </tr>
                            @foreach($arquivos as $arquivo)
                                <tr>
                                    <td>{{$arquivo->nome}}</td>
                                    <td>{{$arquivo->tipo}}</td>


                                    <td>  <a href="download/{{$arquivo->nome}}" download="{{$arquivo->nome}}" >Download</a></td>
                                    <td><a href = 'delete/{{ $arquivo->id }}' >Delete</a></td>

                                </tr>
                            @endforeach
                        </table>
                    </div>

I can Upload and delete normally,I cannot identify the error in downlaod, as I am still a beginner in the framework(v.5.3).

Try something like

public function getDownload()
{

    $file= public_path(). "/download/info.pdf";

    $headers = array(
              'Content-Type: application/pdf',
            );

    return Response::download($file, 'filename.pdf', $headers);
}
