Wordpress - wp-config.php does not exist

I have a website that when i try to connect to the url, it directs me to site-url/wp-admin/setup-config.php and when I navigate to public_html, the wp-config.php file is no where to be found.

I have to add that there are some installer*.php files added to public_html.

What do I have to do to connect to the website without redirecting to setup-config.php file?

You get redirected to site-url/wp-admin/setup-config.php when wordpress cannot find wp-config.php file in you site root directory.

you can create wp-config.php manually from the sample file which comes with standard wordpress. Its named wp-config-sample.php. Just rename it to wp-config.php and edit following lines to reflect your database settings:

define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');

define('DB_USER', 'username_here');

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

more details about wp-config.php here

If you don't have wp-config-sample.php file you can get the file from latest wordpress archive here
