Cannot found FPDI class/ Composer error about fpdi

[JanSlabon]

The namespace of FPDI is \setasign\Fpdi.

Please read through the documentation and check out the examples.

The error message from composers looks somewhat strange to me. Please follow the installation guide of the documentation.

I've tried several things, even to use it on a linux machine but I still get the same error..
I want to use FPDF with it, then I've add the line
{ "require": { "setasign/fpdi-fpdf": "^2.0" } }

My error is now :

Problem 1
- Installation request for setasign/fpdi No version set (parsed as 1.0.0) -> satisfiable by setasign/fpdi[No version set (parsed as 1.0.0)].
- setasign/fpdi-fpdf v2.0.0 requires setasign/fpdi ^2.0 -> satisfiable by setasign/fpdi[v2.0.0, v2.0.1, v2.0.2, v2.0.3].
- Can only install one of: setasign/fpdi[v2.0.0, No version set (parsed as 1.0.0)].
- Can only install one of: setasign/fpdi[v2.0.1, No version set (parsed as 1.0.0)].
- Can only install one of: setasign/fpdi[v2.0.2, No version set (parsed as 1.0.0)].
- Can only install one of: setasign/fpdi[v2.0.3, No version set (parsed as 1.0.0)].
- Installation request for setasign/fpdi-fpdf ^2.0 -> satisfiable by setasign/fpdi-fpdf[v2.0.0].

And my composer.json looks like this, maybe I've put it on the wrong place ?

Thanks a lot for your help !

Why do you use the composer.json of FPDI?

For sure you need to create your own: https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md !

[Telsho]

Oh I see, the thing is this is the first time I'm using composer and I don't get all of it..

Where should I put the composer.json file ? Should I rewrite the one from FPDI and then use autoload instead of doing composer install ?

[JanSlabon]

Don't get me wrong but this is not a support forum for "how to use composer". If you're not familiar with it, ask in an appropriate forum or use FPDI without composer.
