Run command “composer install” when activating wordpress plugin

I want to run the command : “composer install –prefer-dist” in a wordpress plugin in the hook register_activation_hook to install the require vendors. But when I trying to activating the plugin the error below is generate. Do you have a way to install the required composers when activate the plugin?

This is not how this should work. You should not be stunning shell commands from a plugin. The proper way to do this is to install dependencies before bundling for distribution.
