  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires PHP extension ext-zend-opcache * but it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's zend-opcache extension.

Solution:

Edit your php.ini and add this:

zend_extension=C:/php/ext/php_opcache.dll

then uncomment ...

[opcache]
; Determines if Zend OPCache is enabled
;opcache.enable=1

; Determines if Zend OPCache is enabled for the CLI version of PHP
opcache.enable_cli=1

That's it! To confirm it, do:

C:\localhost\projectApp>php -v
