Run this command in the root of your project to add the dependency to composer.json and install the librarie:

composer require phpoffice/phpword

Answer 2

Run this command in the root of your project $ composer require phpoffice/phpword

You will find vendor folder and 2 files composer.json and composer.lock in the root folder of your project.

Create a new file, index.php, in the root folder of the project(or some other filename). Copy paste the basic usage sample code provided in https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord

Change the line require_once 'bootstrap.php'; to require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

Run the new file created and then you can see the docx file created in the root folder of your project.

You just need to add dependency on PHPWord into your package. just below code in your composer.json file

{
    "require": {
       "phpoffice/phpword": "v0.13.*"
    }
}

and then execute the below code from console

$ composer.phar install
