The  Getting Started  page is the introduction to the documentation  Most documentation will start off with installation instructions  just like Composer s do   The page that contains information on the composer json file is located here - under  Basic Usage   the second page   I d recommend reading over the documentation in full  so that you gain a better understanding of how to use Composer  I d also recommend removing what you have and following the installation instructions provided in the documentation
