Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "SebLucas\Cops\Input\Request"

Hi, I just installed COPS on my Webspace Server with PHP 8.2 and I get this error message:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "SebLucas\Cops\Input\Request" not found in /www/books/bbs/config.php:27 Stack trace: #0 /www/books/bbs/index.php(18): require_once() #1 {main} thrown in /www/books/bbs/config.php on line 27

What did I do wrong, what do I have to change to make COPS run?

Since July 2023, you can find a forked version that works with PHP8, including some issues fixes and new features, on his personal fork:
[COPS for PHP 8.x] https://github.com/mikespub-org/seblucas-cops

Thank you for your support.
I have tested V1.4x and also the forked version. Both times I get the same error.

Try the 1.3.6 release at https://github.com/mikespub-org/seblucas-cops/releases/tag/1.3.6. Download and unzip cops-1.3.6.zip rather than the source.

So, I have installed V. 1.3.6. Now I have no more error message but a gray page. I just read the many pages here ... Gray Page and also here. 487

The first error is typical when you install COPS for PHP 8.x from source, and you do not run composer to install the project dependencies afterwards. I'll clarify this in the introduction there.
The alternative is to download cops-1.x.zip from releases instead, which already includes all dependencies.

The second issue could be due to a number of reasons as you mentioned, It's easiest to check for common issues first by browsing to http://.../checkconfig.php

Updated README to clarify the need to run composer when installing from source
