Bare minimum for an input text box would be
sf::RectangleShape or sf::Sprite (https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.6/graphics-draw.php) to display the box
sf::Text & sf::Font (https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.6/graphics-text.php) to display the the text
The TextEntered event (https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.6/window-events.php) to catch the text inputted by the user
and of course the mandatory basics of how to create a windows, a correct event and main loop

Could also use a GUI library like TGUI or SFGUI, but I don't know anything about them
