Slim framework not working

I have looked in the slim docs for the hello world code that he uses but I can't find it. I then typed out exactly what the instructor did but this is what I get

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Slim\Slim' not found in /home/treehouse/workspace/index.php:10 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /home/treehouse/workspace/index.php on line 10

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago');

//$log = new Logger('name');
//$log->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('app.txt', Logger::WARNING));
//$log->addWarning('Oh Noes');

$app = new \Slim\Slim();
$app->get('/hello/:name', function ($name) {
    echo "Hello, $name";
});
$app->run();

What version are you using?

The videos are using version 2 and the latest version is 3.

If you are using version 3 (which I guess you are) you will have to use the docs a lot.

<?php
use \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$app = new \Slim\App;
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function (Request $request, Response $response) {
    $name = $request->getAttribute('name');
    $response->getBody()->write("Hello, $name");

    return $response;
});
$app->run()

May 2018 - Slim v3.10

Here's the code I was able to get to work for this video. It's a combination of Hampton's 'require' and 'date/time' fix and the code on the front page of the Slim site. Good luck! (This video really does need an update.)

<?php
    require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
    date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
    //$log = new Logger('name');
    //$log->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('app.txt', Logger::WARNING));
    //$log->addWarning('Oh Noes');

    use \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
    use \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;

    $app = new \Slim\App;

    $app->get('/hello/{name}', function (Request $request, Response $response, array $args) {
        $name = $args['name'];
        $response->getBody()->write("Hello, $name");
        return $response;
    });

    $app->run();
?>

If you remove the leading "/" before "vendor", does it work? If there's something wrong with the path, then it might be looking for vendor in the root directory, rather than as a subdirectory in your current environment?
