Run Scripts to create a Codeigniter Basic Structure ( Only if system don´t run this automatically )

$ cd /path/to/project_folder
$ composer run-script post-install-cmd

Folder Final Structure

project_folder/
├── application/
├── composer.json
├── composer.lock
├── .htaccess
├── index.php
└── vendor/
    └── eihror/
        └── compress-image/
    └── cocur/
        └── slugify/

Above command installs .htaccess to remove index.php in your URL. If you don't need it, please remove it.

And it changes application/config/config.php:

$config['composer_autoload'] = FALSE;
↓
$config['composer_autoload'] = realpath(APPPATH . '../vendor/autoload.php');

$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';
↓
$config['index_page'] = '';
