Dependency Injection in Controller is causing crash in ASP.NET (MVC) web applicaiton

Question

I am trying to implement dependency injection in the ASP.NET (MVC) template program.

Program Structure:

I have the following class/interfaces in the Model folder:

Employee.cs

namespace TestWebApplication.Models
{
    public class Employee
    {
        public int EmployeeID { get; set; }
        public string FullName { get; set; }
    }
}

IEmployeeRepository.cs

namespace TestWebApplication.Models
{
    public interface IEmployeeRepository
    {
        Employee GetEmployee(int employeeId);
    }
}

EmployeeRepository.cs

namespace TestWebApplication.Models
{
    public class EmployeeRepository : IEmployeeRepository
    {
        private List<Employee> _employeeList;

        public EmployeeRepository()
        {
            _employeeList = new List<Employee>()
            {
                new Employee() {EmployeeID = 1, FullName = "ABC"},
                new Employee() {EmployeeID = 2, FullName = "XYZ"},
            };
        }
        public Employee GetEmployee(int employeeId)
        {
            return _employeeList.First();
        }
    }
}

and now, when I try to do the dependency injection in the HomeController and run the web application, it throws exception.

HomeController .cs

namespace TestWebApplication.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        IEmployeeRepository _employeeList;
        public HomeController(IEmployeeRepository repo)
        {
            _employeeList = repo;
        }
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }

        public ActionResult About()
        {
            ViewBag.Message = "Your application description page.";

            return View();
        }

        public ActionResult Contact()
        {
            ViewBag.Message = "Your contact page.";

            return View();
        }

         public ActionResult Basics()
        {
            ViewBag.Message = "Your Basics page.";

            return View();
        }
    }
}

QUESTION: How do I register the EmployeeRepository?
