I have a fresh install of Symfony with everthing looking in-place apart from my vendors directory is empty? That is, it has composer and doctrine directories in it but they are empty. If I stand in my root and run the command:
$ composer install

Failed to download doctrine/lexer from dist: Could not decompress the archive, enable the PHP zip extension.

At the front end browsing to http://symfony.local/web/

Clearly it's looking for /vendor/autoload.php but this isn't there. Why is my vendor directory empty and how can I ensure the libraries get installed?
$ composer update returns:

Well, your PHP is not properly configured.
Adjust your /etc/php5/php.ini and enable the "ZIP" extension.
And the rest is probably a permissions issue, because you are using Cygwin in combination with Composer. Composer and Cygwin are not really best friends.
My suggestion: run Composer on the native Windows CLI, just for the vendor fetching part.
What you want is composer update. It will read your composer.json to install all required packages. composer install is used for deployment.
Download and enable the zip extention for PHP If you are using PHP7.0 and use a debian base distribution (Ex: Ubuntu), use the following to install and enable it automaticaly
apt-get install php-zip
