How many people are required to set up a company limited by shares?

It is a legal requirement of company formation to have at least one shareholder and one director. Both roles can be filled by the same person, which essentially means you can register a company on your own. There is no statutory maximum for the number of directors or shareholders you can have, although you should check to ensure your articles don't provide a limit.
