CodeIgniter -> php spark serve Not Working

Question

I have just created a new project with CodeIgniter. I tried to run this command to run the server:

php spark serve

But it is giving me this error:

PHP Warning:  require(/mnt/e/dev/learning/php/codeigniter/001/app/Config/../../vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system/bootstrap.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mnt/e/dev/learning/php/codeigniter/001/spark on line 44
PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required '/mnt/e/dev/learning/php/codeigniter/001/app/Config/../../vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system/bootstrap.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /mnt/e/dev/learning/php/codeigniter/001/spark on line 44

How can I run this command

Solution

PHP version 7.2 or newer is required, with the intl extension and mbstring extension installed. The following PHP extensions should be enabled on your server: php-json, php-mysqlnd, php-xml

And then follow below steps to install and run CI 4 project:

• composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter project-root
• composer clearcache
• composer update
• Config Setting:baseUrl in app/Config/App.php and DB info in app/Config/Database.php
• php spark serve

Note: clear composer cache before updating composer. For detail info follow CI documentation

were you ever able to figure out a remedy? I'm running PHP > 7.2 as noted in answer below, but also hitting this issue right out of the gate with a fresh install of CI. Do I need to add in a bootstrap package to get server to start?

once followed your flows, I can see the app is running. but when I check this url localhost:8080 it's not working

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "Config\App" not found in E:\projects\ci\vendor\codeigniter4\framework\system\Config\F‌​actories.php:126 I am facing this error. What could be the reason? I tried all possible solutions, but none of them worked. Note: I am using PHP 8.1.6
