I am trying to install magento2 on shared hosting environment this is what i did.

  1. Downloaded magento .zip archive and uploaded it to server in public_html/magento2 directory.

Tried running it in browser it gives me this error "Vendor autoload is not found. Please run 'composer install' under application root directory."

Same archive is working fine in my local server, i have successfully installed it on local server with sample data.

Please guide me what i am doing wrong.

EDIT

I have SSH access of my shared hosting, as i am on windows so i have connected that via putty and when i run composer install there it gives me this error "-bash: composer: command not found"

    Composer must be install on your hosting. Please check there is composer installed or not.

  • You have to first install composer on server.

  • Shared hosing environments does allow anything to be installed, they will directly point me towards VPS or dedicated server.

  • It must be composer install otherwise you can't setup magento-2.

You can just download composer in Magento root directory and run it like php composer.phar install or download all locally, run composer install and upload vendor directory on the server.

  • composer is just php script (in phar format). You can place it in any folder. when run, just use full path to it, like php progect/root/composer.phar install

You have to install it to your localhost, and then transfer files into your shared web server. That worked for me.

You need to use SSH to connect to your host IP and when logged in, run the following commands to install composer;

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
