    It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? 🙂

    The first warning is thrown from within the require() function, when it tries to open the file you specified. It can’t open a stream, which is used to read the file, because the file doesn’t exist.

    Because of that, the function call itself also fails, which explains the ‘Fatal error’.
