Composer is a dependency manager for PHP, you have downloaded it, but have you installed it?

The autoload file is generated after running `composer install` in the project's root directory.

it created 3 files  folder called composer inside that composer, composer.bat, composer.phar no autoload file

just to add to this in my PHPMYADMIN folder there is a folder called vendor and in there their is the file called autoload.php

 

<?php

// autoload.php @generated by Composer

require_once __DIR__ . '/composer/autoload_real.php';

return ComposerAutoloaderInit5a360facea79a6ba3440ba7eaed9051a::getLoader();

That's the installation of Composer itself. You now need to run `composer install` on the command line in the project's root to grab the 3rd-party dependencies.

A future release will factor out the Composer reliance. But for now, that's the way
