How can you install the Symfony HTTP_Foundation package with composer? Vague

Doesn't seem to accept obvious answers like 'composer install', 'composer.json', 'require', or 'symfony/http-foundation'. I removed the package in question completely from workspaces, and added it back into composer.json, then reran composer install. So i definitely know how to install the package in question, but i'm just not sure precisely what the question wants. It's probably something obvious and i'm just thinking about it wrong.

Thanks. The tutor for that video series included a composer.json file in the initial project files, so she just ran "composer install". I'd completely forgotten I could pass in the package directly.

Yeah the link provided in the question has an article that has the answer at the top but it was very subtle so I didn't see it. It did get on my nerves a little that they left it to the student to figure this out though.
