Hi @dtsoden,
That indicates that you have not ran step 2 (composer install --no-dev) or that the command is failing when ran.

Also, ensure you are not installing BookStack into an existing exposed/served web environment.
The fact you are install into a public_html folder makes me wary that you are installing in an existing web location.

Since there's been no further follow up on this I'll go ahead and close this off.
