I created an empty PHP project in NetBeans. I inserted an example of code from the main page. Does not work. Your project is not very friendly for beginners ☹

**Warning** : require(C:\DevTools\Projects\Test\html\TestSlim/../vendor/autoload.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in **C:\DevTools\Projects\Test\html\TestSlim\index.php** on line **6**

**Fatal error** : Uncaught Error: Failed opening required ‘C:\DevTools\Projects\Test\html\TestSlim/../vendor/autoload.php’ (include\_path=‘.’) in C:\DevTools\Projects\Test\html\TestSlim\index.php:6 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in **C:\DevTools\Projects\Test\html\TestSlim\index.php** on line **6**
