I have wamp64, php 7.4 and using composer I ran this from the console
composer create-project --prefer-dist "cakephp/app:^4.0" myapp
and
composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app:~4.0 my_app_name
The installation cut out towards the end with this error

[Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\RunTimeException\ Aborted
and some Symfony runtime exception when you get to the set folder permission y/n

How to Fix Cakephp 4 Composer Install Error
(i didnt understand the solution to this)
Cakephp 4 Windows Installation Issues

Answer 1

It should be possible to get it to work. What Windows version do you use? Pro or Home? Which distribution? 2010?
Please make sure to navigate to the WAMP install folder and then specifically the www folder.
The command I use is this;
composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app:~4.0 cake
It worked for me.
Alternatively, download Cakephp version 4.0, place the contents in the www folder, and configure it manually through the file /config/app.php. If you want, we can look at it together. There are not many people around me that can or want to work on Cakephp, so it'd be a pleasure. :)
