Lorekeeper Setup Tutorial: http://lorekeeper-arpg.wikidot.com/wiki:tutorial:setting-up

This guide takes the approach that the reader has no or very little knowledge about xampp before beginning the guide. It may be more beneficial for more advanced users to skip towards the end of the guide, or read Draginraptor’s guide located here

Composer can be downloaded here (Composer-Setup.exe)

Do not select developer mode, and you can also skip the proxy URL.

Your install should look similar to this
