How To Fix Error While Installing Laravel First Time?

I use a WAMP server located at drive E: and I try to install Laravel for the first time.

First I installed Composer and then I installed Laravel. Then I ran my server located at http://localhost/laravel/public/, but it gave this error:

Warning: require(E:\wamp\www\laravel\bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\wamp\www\laravel\bootstrap\autoload.php on line 17

How can I prevent this error?

You need to install project dependencies via composer. Inside the project folder run:

composer install

If you have no composer installed, here's how:

• Windows: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-windows
