I need to install only 1 package for my SF2 distribution (DoctrineFixtures).
When I run
php composer.phar update
I get
- Updating twig/twig (dev-master 39d94fa => v1.13.0)
The package has modified files:
M CHANGELOG
M doc/filters/batch.test
M doc/filters/index.rst
M doc/filters/url_encode.rst
M doc/functions/index.rst
M doc/tags/index.rst
M doc/tests/index.rst
M lib/Twig/Autoloader.php
M lib/Twig/Compiler.php
M lib/Twig/CompilerInterface.php
-10 more files modified, choose "v" to view the full list
It appears the last developer edited a lot of files inside vendor.
In order to get around this, I tried
php composer.phar update <package_name>
But that doesn't seem to work. How can I update/install only one library from composer.json?
To install doctrine/doctrine-fixtures-bundle with version 2.1.* and minimum stability #dev use this:
composer require doctrine/doctrine-fixtures-bundle:2.1.*#dev
then to update only this single package:
composer update doctrine/doctrine-fixtures-bundle
If you just want to update a few packages and not all, you can list them as such:
php composer.phar update vendor/package:2.* vendor/package2:dev-master
You can also use wildcards to update a bunch of packages at once:
php composer.phar update vendor/*
As commented by #ZeroThe2nd ZSH users may need to wrap their vendor/* in quotation marks:
php composer.phar update "vendor/*"
--prefer-source: Install packages from source when available.
--prefer-dist: Install packages from dist when available.
--ignore-platform-reqs: ignore php, hhvm, lib-* and ext-* requirements and force the installation even if the local machine does not fulfill these. See also the platform config option.
--dry-run: Simulate the command without actually doing anything.
--dev: Install packages listed in require-dev (this is the default behavior).
--no-dev: Skip installing packages listed in require-dev. The autoloader generation skips the autoload-dev rules.
--no-autoloader: Skips autoloader generation.
--no-scripts: Skips execution of scripts defined in composer.json.
--no-plugins: Disables plugins.
--no-progress: Removes the progress display that can mess with some terminals or scripts which don't handle backspace characters.
--optimize-autoloader (-o): Convert PSR-0/4 autoloading to classmap to get a faster autoloader. This is recommended especially for production, but can take a bit of time to run so it is currently not done by default.
--lock: Only updates the lock file hash to suppress warning about the lock file being out of date.
--with-dependencies: Add also all dependencies of whitelisted packages to the whitelist.
--prefer-stable: Prefer stable versions of dependencies.
--prefer-lowest: Prefer lowest versions of dependencies. Useful for testing minimal versions of requirements, generally used with --prefer-stable.
Difference between install, update and require
Assume the following scenario:
composer.json
"parsecsv/php-parsecsv": "0.*"
composer.lock file
"name": "parsecsv/php-parsecsv",
"version": "0.1.4",
Latest release is 1.1.0. The latest 0.* release is 0.3.2
install: composer install parsecsv/php-parsecsv
This will install version 0.1.4 as specified in the lock file
update: composer update parsecsv/php-parsecsv
This will update the package to 0.3.2. The highest version with respect to your composer.json. The entry in composer.lock will be updated.
require: composer require parsecsv/php-parsecsv
This will update or install the newest version 1.1.0. Your composer.lock file and composer.json file will be updated as well.
You can use the following command to update any module with its dependencies
composer update vendor-name/module-name --with-dependencies
You can basically do following one to install new package as well.
php composer.phar require
then terminal will ask you to enter the name of the package for searching.
$ Search for a package []: //Your package name here
Then terminal will ask the version of the package (If you would like to have the latest version just leave it blank)
$ Enter the version constraint to require (or leave blank to use the latest version) []: //your version number here
Then you just press the return key. Terminal will ask for another package, if you dont want to install another one just press the return key and you will be done.
Just use
composer require {package/packagename}
like
composer require phpmailer/phpmailer
if the package is not in the vendor folder.. composer installs it and if the package exists, composer update package to the latest version.
Update:
require install or update the latest package version. if you want update one package just use update.
To ensure that composer update one package already installed to the last version within the version constraints you've set in composer.json remove the package from vendor and then execute :
php composer.phar update vendor/package
Because you wanted to install specific package
"I need to install only 1 package for my SF2 distribution (DoctrineFixtures)."
php composer.phar require package/package-name:package-version
would be enough
I'm trying to add the "cedarmaps-php-sdk" composer package to my Laravel project
the package can be found here: https://github.com/cedarstudios/cedarmaps-php-sdk
I have successfully installed the package using
composer install
&
composer update
The problem is when I want to use the 'CedarMaps' I get the error:
"main(): Failed opening required 'vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR')" *image
for now, I'have manually bypassed this problem by changing
require('vendor/autoload.php');
to
require('../vendor/autoload.php');
in the below file (the repository file)
vendor/cedarmaps/cedarmaps-php-sdk/src/CedarMaps.php
am I doing anything wrong?

Let me ask a question: Was that necessary for this package to require autoload.php itself
, I mean doesn't composer handle this autoloading for all packages automatically?
You need to use composer require 'package name' to install a package to your existing project then do a composer dump-autoload.
I'm trying to use https://github.com/consolibyte/quickbooks-php in a Drupal 8 project. I think I've followed composer ways of adding it:
composer config repositories.quickbooks-php vcs https://github.com/consolibyte/quickbooks-php
composer require "consolibyte/quickbooks-php master"
But the 2nd command returns "Could not find package consolibyte/quickbooks-php".
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
You're using incorrect package name - real package name is defined in composer.json of this package and it is consolibyte/quickbooks instead of consolibyte/quickbooks-php.
composer require "consolibyte/quickbooks:dev-master"
Also this package is registered at Packagist, so you don't need to add repository for it. See https://packagist.org/packages/consolibyte/quickbooks
I am trying to install package library by composer in YII2. But after running the command from my command prompt I am getting following error
My composer command is
composer.phar require kartik-v/yii2-widget-datetimepicker "*"
Package yiisoft/yii2-codeception is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use codeception/codeception instead.
When installing by this command
php composer.phar require kartik-v/yii2-social "#dev"
Then I am getting following error
Package facebook/php-sdk-v4 is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use facebook/graph-sdk instead.
Generating autoload files
Please suggest me how can I resolve this error
This is not an error. This is just an information for you from composer that one of the required packages has been abandoned and you should not expect to get updates for it.
If you want to get rid of this information simply remove the mentioned packages from the composer.json file of your project.
If the package is not listed there it means that one of the required packages listed needs it as dependency so you can not remove it directly.
As for the Yii 2 - here is the current advanced project template's composer.json so you can update the one in your project - package yiisoft/yii2-codeception is no longer used.
I'm making my own Composer package for educational purposes. It's just a Laravel extended package with some libraries already installed.
I uploaded to GitHub: jorgeanzola/laravel
I posted it at Packagist
When I try to run:
$ composer create-package jorgeanzola/laravel <path>
It gave me this error:
Could not find package jorgeanzola/laravel with stability stable
In order to make it work, I have to add =dev-master, like this:
$ composer create-package jorgeanzola/laravel=dev-master
It downloads correctly but at the end it gave me this warning:
Do you want to remove the existing VCS (.git, .svn..) history? [Y,n]?
My question is: How can I set the download process to be more neat? Like, ie: Laravel itself:
$ composer create-project laravel/laravel <path>
Release versions of your package, by creating git tags (git tag). Then, the latest stable version will be installed when using composer create-project.
If you don't want that, then set the stability to dev by doing composer create-project --stability=dev xxx/yyy
