laravel 4 installation problems

i have been struggling with this for about 20 hours now and i cannot move forward. I am hopeless and tired from all that searching. Dont know where else should i try to find the solution. At the begining i should probably say that i am not a terminal/composer/git user. I am trying to install the laravel 4 framework. I have been googling a lot and found some tutorials, some of the even here on stackoverflow but noting really helped me.

I have the basic github master zip package extracted at my localhost. I have installed composer i have also installed git on my local machine. I have uncommented the php.ini "extension=php_openssl.dll". Like i said i dont use terminal regulary but i manage to cd into my extracted laravel folder and i have run "composer install" command which starts the installation. But soon i get error.

  [Composer\Downloader\TransportException]
  The "http://nodeload.github.com/doctrine/lexer/zip/bc0e1f0cc285127a38c6c8ea
  88bc5dba2fd53e94" file could not be downloaded: failed to open stream: Unab
  le to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when yo
  u configured PHP?

Which should be fixed by that change i made in php.ini file. Of course i have restart the server but i still get this error. I have also reinstalled wamp to the newer version so right now i am using php 5.4.3

When i try to open my laravel public i get this error.

( ! ) SCREAM: Error suppression ignored for
( ! ) Warning: require(C:\wamp\www\laravel\bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\laravel\bootstrap\autoload.php on line 17

Which is i believe beacuse its just not complete since composer does not downloaded all the dependencies. I dont know what esle to say if you need more info just say so. Thank you for any help. And at last i am sorry for my poor english its my secondary language.

UPDATE:

So i was searching some more and found this article. I was missing this step: START > MY COMPUTER > PROPERTIES > ADVANCED > ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES > double click on PATH from SYSTEM VARIABLES > now copy the path address of git installer (normally in windows it’s by default address is C:\Program Files\Git\bin) After that it gone further, asked for my github acc because it says that its private depo. So i have created one today and used it. Then it throws me this error.

      [Composer\Downloader\TransportException]
  The "https://api.github.com/authorizations" file could not be downloaded: U

I see you have the answer already however if you or anyone else is having issues installing Laravel 4 using WAMP you can use my flowcharts for a step by step installation. https://github.com/scrfix/Laravel4x_FlowCharts

There is a standalone no composer installation: https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-preloaded

Note that this will not have an upgrade path and is experimental.

Same issue with me. I'm using XAMPP and there is only one php.ini in there. I think I have set everything up correctly according to the two hours of Googling I have done on the issue. I've also turned off the Firewall. This is very frustrating! My dev environment is in Windows so I really don't want to have to start messing about with Linux virtual machines.

The issue with the php.ini file of WAMP

the php.ini used by the command line is located in the "PHP folder" and is NOT the same one used by the Apache server.

Find the php.ini from the WAMP > localhost > php > bin file (In my case C:\localhost\bin\php\php5.3.13)

And enable the extension=php_openssl.dll

Then it should work
