Trying to set up Laravel 4 gives "failed to open stream: No such file or directory"

Trying to set up Laravel 4 on a Mac. I've installed Composer but when I go to the public folder via XAMPP I get this:

Warning: require(/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/laravel-master/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/laravel-master/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/laravel-master/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php:/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/pear') in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/laravel-master/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17

Solution

  • I had the same problem and found a way to fix it.

    Just read this: http://laravel.com/docs/installation and follow the steps in the documentation.

    Install composer first, add Laravel to the root of your project and install the composer.json with cmd. This should work.
