Slim Application Error - When I run my index.php file

Question

Hey guys, so I'm following this course coding on JetBrains PhpStorm ( instead of workspaces) and everything has been working pretty smooth so far until I followed along with this video. I'm stuck and confused and I'd greatly appreciate anyone who can look at my code and help me.

Here's what shows up on my browser when I run index.php

Slim Application Error The application could not run because of the following error:

Here's my code

index.php

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Colombo');

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

$app = new \Slim\Slim( array (
    'view' => new \Slim\Views\Smarty()
));

$view = $app->view();
$view->parserOptions = array(
    'debug' => true,
);

$view->parserExtensions = array(
    new \Slim\Views\TwigExtension(),
);

$app->get('/', function () use($app){
    $app->render('about.twig');
});

$app->get('/contact', function () use($app){
    $app->render('contact.twig');
});

$app->run();
