I downloaded a laravel project from a shared hosting and I want to edit him in my localhost but when I type out the home adress: localhost:8000/ it shows me those two errors :

Warning: require_once(C:\Users\Rafaa\Downloads\Compressed.idea/public/index.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Users\Rafaa\Downloads\Compressed.idea\server.php on line 21

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'C:\Users\Rafaa\Downloads\Compressed.idea/public/index.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\Users\Rafaa\Downloads\Compressed.idea\server.php on line 21

Solution 1:[1]

When you clone or download a project from somewhere, there may be a case that many dependencies like codes or library files are missing. To solve this

  1. Open the terminal
  2. Go to the directory where the project folder is situated.
  3. RUN composer install

If it still does not work, RUN composer update

That should do the trick.
