how to install dependencies of a Laravel project?

Question

I am very new to Laravel, I have got to work on an existing project that is located on a server. I am able to access the source code through the FileZilla. The size of the whole project on the server is more than 6 GB. I know that I shouldn't download the whole project but the main folder and run composer install command to install all the dependencies specified in the vendor/composer folder. but I am not able to figure out the structure of the project and which part I need to download in order to run the composer install command and get the project running locally on my machine. Below is the project structure on the server.

I can right-click on a node and select download. which folder is the main project? that I assume it should only has the main files and the composer.json file where all deps are specified in it?

您可能需要下载整个项目，因为有控制器、迁移、资源等。
