Create sandbox folder
Copy to sandbox folder composer.json and composer.lock
In sandbox folder create app/code and vendor/magento
Copy any of the magento modules (as for example: framework, module-catalog, module-checkout, module-customer, module-sales) into the vendor/magento folder. It is better to add as few modules as possible to reduce reindexing time during application running
