Laravel Error : - php

Question

I'm trying to setup laravel in my Windows system. I've installed composer. But there are some issues with the composer that is creating problems while trying to create a new laravel project.
I did a composer diagnose from the cmd and following are the results:
composer diagnose

Answer 1

It seems you are simply hitting Github limits due to non authenticated access.
[Composer\Downloader\TransportException] The
"https://api.github.com/rate_limit" file could not be downloaded: SSL
operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
so it should be sufficient to just authenticate yourself:
Log into your GitHub account and click on "Applications" in the sidebar
Create a new token under the "Personal Access Tokens"
in project's folder do:
composer config github-oauth.github.com YOUR-TOKEN
and that should be it.
