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 don´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.

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 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 have Composer installed globally, So I open CMD and write the following command to create a project (composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app my_app_name). What this does is install the project in my user folder. I need the project to be installed in wamp/www folder. And I can't for the life of me figure out how to set the path. Should I just cut-paste the project there or will that create issues with cakephp? still new to the framework :)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Installing CakePHP
Before starting you should make sure that you have got an up to date PHP version:
php -v
You should at least have got installed PHP 5.5.9 (CLI) or higher. Your webserver’s PHP version must also be of 5.5.9 or higher, and should best be the same version your command line interface (CLI) PHP version is of.
Installing Composer
CakePHP uses Composer, a dependency management tool, as the officially supported method for installation.
Installing Composer on Linux and Mac OS X
Run the installer script as described in the official Composer documentation and follow the instructions to install Composer.
Execute the following command to move the composer.phar to a directory that is in your path:
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Installing Composer on Windows
For Windows systems, you can download Composer’s Windows installer here. Further instructions for Composer’s Windows installer can be found within the README here.
Create a CakePHP Project
Now that you’ve downloaded and installed Composer, let’s say you want to create a new CakePHP application into my_app_name folder. For this just run the following composer command:
php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app my_app_name
Or if Composer is installed globally:
composer self-update && composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app my_app_name
Once Composer finishes downloading the application skeleton and the core CakePHP library, you should have a functioning CakePHP application installed via Composer. Be sure to keep the composer.json and composer.lock files with the rest of your source code.
First point your composer to www folder.In my case i am using Xamp so pointed my composer to htdocs
C:\xampp\htdocs>composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app my_app_name
Installing cakephp/app (3.3.2)
- Installing cakephp/app (3.3.2)
Downloading: 100%
Created project in my_app_name
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Updated
I am using windows .
C:\Users\Vision>cd\
C:\>cd xampp
C:\xampp>cd htdocs
C:\xampp\htdocs>
Also in windows if i right click on inside htdocs any folder i have option to use composer here
i am lost...
i am trying to do it the right way and am following the Quick Start Guide for installing cakePHP 3 on my ubuntu machine.
Got composer installed. Directory is /var/www/cakephp
and am trying to issue:
php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app mayapp
or
composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app may app
then i am simply getting:
[InvalidArgumentException]
Could not find package cakephp/app with stability stable.
i do not have a clue what i am doing wrong. Any suggestions?
cakephp/app exists on https://packagist.org, and the command looks ok to me.
Which PHP version are you using? That package is only available with PHP 5.4.16 or later, so you must update if you want to use CakePHP.
However, it is a good idea to only use the same PHP version of your public hosting, using a newer version will lead to problems when deploying your code. If your webspace or public server does not have the latest PHP 5.6 running, ask for an update.
I got same issue. But, as previous answer, myapp does not exists on packagist.org, so, you must use laravel/laravel instead, and, after created, rename the new laravel folder to your desired name and move to htdocs (for xampp) or www (for wamp), then, and I do not know why, go to : localhost/laravel/public/
and replace laravel with the name you gave to your project folder instead the laravel one.
You will see Laravel 5 fonts will appear on screen.
That's means Laravel is running.
Hey Please try these steps.
Download XAMPP Server.
Install XAMPP server.
Go to ..\xampp\php\php.ini and open.
Add this line (extension=php_intl.dll) or if exist uncomment.
Download Composer setup from https://github.com/composer/windows-setup/releases/
Install composer and give php.exe file in path
Open cmd and check now php version using command php -v. if its showing php version its means its working.
Now open cmd and cd on xampp\htdocs folder & run command composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app app_name
Finished folder created in htdocs.
Hope this is helpful for you.
I am on a windows 8 machine and I'm trying to learn laravel. I copy and pasted my PHP folder from C:\xampp to C:\php, installed composer, ran composer install then composer create-project laravel/laravel learning-laravel. So far everything was created so I went into the directory and tried to use 'php artisan serve' and got the following error.
C:\Users\denni_000\learning-laravel>php artisan serve
Warning: require(C:\Users\denni_000\learning-laravel\bootstrap/../vendor/autoloa
d.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Users\denni_000\l
earning-laravel\bootstrap\autoload.php on line 17
Why you copied php folder
download composer install it.
download laravel latest version and store it on your xampp/htdocs/laravel
and run cmd with composer install command
For more follow install laravel on windows xampp
or Laravel 4.1 installation with composer in xampp
For windows Simply download Laragon which includes latest php 5.6.7, Apache, Mysql, Redis, Memcached an alternative to Xampp or Mamp with small size. Easy to install laravel and create project with auto create virtual host by it. Thank you.
U need to go to the directory where laravel is installed and run the following command.
composer update
Install Laravel 4.2 with composer:
sudo composer.phar create-project laravel/laravel project-directory-name 4.2 --prefer-dist
Here is a different way to setup laravel, may be you guys will like it
Step 1:
Clone https://github.com/laravel/laravel or you may download zip also.
Step 2:
Navigate to downloaded folder in command prompt and run composer install
Step 3:
open the folder and rename .env.example to .env and update the credentials mentioned in file.
Step 4:
After these steps if you navigate to the directory from web-server it will cause an error No supported encrypter found. The cipher and / or key length are invalid. to fix this just run php artisan key:generate
Done!
Hope you guys like this way :)
You need to install all the laravel required dependency.
To do that, you need to tell composer to install everything needed.
Below is the command to use to install that's required in laravel composer.json.
composer install
Follow the installation guide from Laravel
Install Composer:
Like Laravel.com says: "Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH so the laravel executable can be located by your system."
Type the following statement in the command line:
composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
Create a fresh Laravel project in a specified directory with the "laravel new" command:
laravel new blog
You can also create a Laravel project using composer, like such:
composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist
If you want to learn laravel I seriously recommend you use laravel homestead with vagrant.
For this you need to:
Install virtualbox.
Install vagrant.
Install git.
Install ssh.exe (Download msysgit and copy the content of bin folder to git bin folder).
Install Homestead on Vagrant (Follow the steps on laravel/homestead documentation page).
Install Laravel on Homestead (Follow the steps on laravel/installation documentation page).
This method apply to Windows, Linux or Mac, only change the step 4 on linux or mac.
