Lumen installation error

Question

I am trying to install lumen with composer so I used the command below

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/lumen api

But, for some reason I am getting this error before even doing anything, just visiting the public folder.

Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found.

Assuming you are running lumen from a subdirectory, in public/index.php change:

$app->run();

to

$request = Illuminate\Http\Request::capture();
$app->run($request);

That did the trick for me.
