I came across this problem on ubuntu 22 operating system. the problem occurs with composer not finding the packages needed to install, but if I use sudo the packages are found and can be installed without problems.
example command to install laravel :
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/lumen blog
error example
Could not find package laravel/lumen with stability stable.
I've solved this problem, but I forgot how. does anyone still remember? Please help me

I have been writing laravel code for quite sometime. Currently, I tried cloning a project from github and editing locally. I installed composer in my project directory but a vendor folder was not included, I tried to run composer install but I gives me this error
Your lock file does not contain a compatible set of packages. Please run composer update
How do I resolve this?
Note: I have tried running composer update on previous clones and that didn't work.
Run this command:
composer install --ignore-platform-reqs
or
composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
Disclaimer, this solution will not fix the issue for PHP 8 projects.
In most cases this happens because of PHP 8 (In my case it was GitHub CI actions automatically started using PHP 8 even though my project is php 7.4)
If you have multiple PHP installations (E.g. 7.4 and 8 on the same server), this is how you can fix it.
Specify your php version in your composer.json file
"config": {
"platform": {
"php": "7.3"
}
},
If you have the lock file already committed, run composer update after you adding above line in to the composer.json and then commit the new lock file. (Please be aware composer update will upgrade your packages to latest versions)
I solved this problem with this command:
composer self-update --1
It probably works because at time that the project was developed, composer was on another version and when change the Major version from 1 to 2 the compatibility was broke. With this command you downgrade composer and probably going to solve this
You should try running composer update --lock that will update all packages and recreate the compose.lock file.
Either you can delete the composer.lock file and run composer install that will also recreate the .lock file.
This resolved my issue.
I had this error with Github Actions trying to deploy a Laravel app, this is probably different than the OP's case but none of the suggestions worked for me. Adding my answer here just in case there is someone else out there with a similar problem to mine.
I had to disable -q in Github Actions and see that it was complaining about extensions not being installed.
Make sure your require section of composer's php extensions matches the extensions: in your github action file for shivammathur/setup-php#v2 and it will deploy again
Recently I've just come across of this error when I tried to run my Laravel 7 project which required php v7.* with php v8. As I forgot my php version I just tried bunch of composer command, but just got error after error.
Anyway, to solve this just downgrade/upgrade php version as required. Just search how to do that in youtube.
you can see your project required php version in composer.json file (just if you wonder)
Also you can try following way (But though it didn't worked for me, seems it helped quite some people)
-- Open composer.json file and change php version to something like this: "php": "^7.3|^8.1"
-- Then run composer update
I faced this problem with my cakephp project in garuda linux (arch based)
Fix :
Install php-intl using sudo pacman -S php-intl
Enable php intl by editing php config ( in my case /etc/php/php.ini ) .
add extension=intl or uncomment the existing one
restart apache or whatever you are using
I had the same error deploying another project with composer, but the problem was a missing php extension.
I understand you solve your problem but for anyone seeing the same error message, here is a general guidance :
The error message Your lock file does not contain a compatible set of packages. Please run composer update is shown each time there is a conflict during the dependency solving step of composer install. (see the relevant part in composer source code)
It doesn't inform on the real problem though, and it could be hard to guess.
To get the exact explanation you can add --verbose option to composer install command (the option is available to any composer command (see the doc)) : composer install --verbose
It will give you the full message explaining what exactly is preventing composer install from completing (package version conflict, missing php extension, etc.), then you'll be able to fix the problem.
Hope this could help.
In my case this problem is occuring in Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop. This is due to some missing packages.
I ran the following commands to install some packages then rerun Composer install and its working properly. The commands are:
sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
sudo apt-get install php-xml
Then rerun composer install
I have installed Composer on windows 7 with the Composer-Setup.exe.
I am trying to install Laravel via Composer on Windows 7. I've tried 2 different commands:
composer global require laravel/installer
and
composer create-project laravel/laravel blog --prefer-dist
but they don't work.
In the end, there always a message: "29 packages you are using are looking for funding"
When I type composer fund to find out, it says that:
Composer could not find a composer.json file in C:\Users\Administrators
Does any one have any solution or any useful link?
Your composer.json file have some packages which have paid licence. However composer do not prevent installing Laravel due to this.
As per logs Laravel has been successfully installed. Can you check at the destination folder.
I want to install Laravel 6 with Composer. I try with that command:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel6 "6.*"
But i get that result:
[InvalidArgumentException]
Could not find package laravel/laravel with version 6.*.
Here is a screenshot
If i use:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
It install the v5.5.28
Here is a screenshot
What can be the problem?
Which PHP version you are using? Laravel-6.* need PHP >= 7.2.0. Check your server-requirements for Laravel 6.*. May be you did not meeting the requirements for laravel 6.*. And after meeting the requirements run your command inside htdocs folder for xampp or www folder for wamp webserver.
your command are no longer supports so you should use:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel="6.*" laravel6
You forgot to add the "--prefer-dist " . So in your case, you have to use the:
composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist
in order to make it work. So just remove all the files from: d:\xampp\htdocs\laravel and then try again by following the below commands to your cmd (I guess you are using Windows!):
cd d:\xampp\htdocs\laravel
composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist
I think this should work for you just fine
You don't need to specify the version of Laravel 6. By default, Laravel 6 installs the latest version and its extension.
As I'm writing now the current and latest version of Laravel is: Laravel 6.0.4
The command below will install the current and the latest version in your laravel6 project.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel6
You don't need to specify the version of Laravel 6. By default, Laravel 6 installs the latest version and its extension.
Via Composer Create-Project
Alternatively, you may also install Laravel by issuing the Composer create-project command in your terminal:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel your_project_name
I think it will be helpful for you. for more details visit laravel official website : https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/installation
Please check the permissions on the cache dir (/home/keynes/.composer/cache)
It's complaining it cannot write to this dir, or it may not exist.
Maybe it is installing an older laravel version from the cache dir.
Kindly upgrade your PHP version on your system.
Then install laravel commands
It will automatically install the lettest version depends on the PHP version.
Or you can mention on laravel command and set the laravel version like "6.0*" behind the laravel installer command.
I hope this will works š
The commands you are running should work. I would try clearing the composer cache:
composer clear-cache
and then
composer update
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel="6.*" laravel6
before trying again. Looking at the screenshots there seem to be some permissions errors in the ~/.composer directory. This might also cause the composer clear-cache command to fail with an error.
So if clearing the cache doesn't work or you get an error, you might try moving the ~/.composer directory to a backup location, to force composer to regenerate it's settings.
mv ~/.composer ~/.composer.backup
And then try it again (be aware that composer update will likely take a noticeably longer time than usual and might be unresponsive for a while):
composer update
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel="6.*" laravel6
If it still doesn't work, then you can restore the backup:
rm -rf ~/.composer
mv ~/.composer.backup ~/.composer
Then looking at the output of
composer config --list --global
might help determine the next thing to try.
I want to install Laravel 4.2 installation some packages via Composer. However, I am getting an error
āfailed to clone git#github.com:symphony/Translation.git.git was not found. Check that it is installed in your path env. āgitā is not recognized as an internal or external commandā
I want to use version 4.2.0 which is an older version of laravel. Iām successful to download if I do not mention version number but not when I include version number.
I tried:
C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel composer create-project laravel/laravel newapp 4.2 āprefer-dist
Or
C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel composer create-project laravel/laravel newapp āprefer-dist 4.2.0
Or
C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel composer create-project laravel/laravel newapp āprefer-dist 4.2.*
Or
C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel composer create-project laravel/laravel {{newapp}} 4.2.* āprefer-dist *
All with same error...
What do I need to make it work? Do I need to install git but How? i have no idea thanks for your help.
Note:I have latest composer downloaded yesterday July 24
Why do you want to use an old and not updated version of Laravel?
The first one is the correct way to install Laravel with composer/create-project.
Can you try to clone the laravel/laravel repository and to run composer udpate?
Lynda was a good source of information for me to learn Laravel(4.2) and if I recall there was a course that went into detail on installing Laravel on Windows, I could be wrong but if you have Git installed already you will also need to add it as a variable in your Paths to be used in your prompts.
The link below should help you in setting the Paths to Git and they should be something along these lines.
;"C:\path\git\bin";"C:\path\git\cmd"
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
I bullishly downloaded and installed GIT not knowing option to choose (used command prompt option) as Romain suggested , reboot and retried and it worked. Lynda indeed have a chapter on installation but did not mention Git so following instruction failed. Note: only trying previous version failed, was ok for latest laravel 5 version before installation of Git. Thank you all...one day lost of trying and testing but happy ending :)
Hi,
I have just installed a Yii2 basic project from composer. I'm in mac osx yosemite 10.10.
Neverthless i'm trying to install extensions as descrived in the tutorials from Yii guide 2.0 and i cannot do it, simply to the fact that i donĀ“t know where to put the line:
php composer.phar require --prefer-dist arturoliveira/yii2-tileslidemenu "*"
this method says in terminal it cannot find composer.phar.
Where to put the above line ?
When i installed the project "acastro" i wrote in terminal the line:
composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic acastro
and the installation worked very well (i had to deal with the mcrypt missing error first but then composer was recognized as a command by termnal)
So, what is the issue here, since nothing installs in vendors dir?
I have tried the other method but nothng happens. The method was:
"arturoliveira/yii2-tileslidemenu": "*"
added in the required section of composr.json file.
When i launch the project by localhost MAMP, nothing is installed in vendors dir.
Anyone can explain me how to install the proper way an extension in Yii2. In Yii1.1 was so easy to do it.
Many thanks in advance.
So if you have global installation of composer and you do composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic acastro, than you can do same with that line too:
composer require --prefer-dist arturoliveira/yii2-tileslidemenu "*"
I don't use MAMP, only XAMPP, but as far as I know, you have to manually do composer actions via command line.
