Cannot install via Composer

[fantomas]

When I try to install it via Composer as in the documentation I get:

  - Installing composer/installers (v1.2.0)
    Loading from cache

  - Installing raven/raven (0.15.0)

What am I missing?

Hello @fantomas,

just follow the link https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo&description=Composer+on+PC+2017-03-24+1151 and create a new token and paste it in your terminal when asked.

Kind Regards

Hello @buric,

I am not sure why this was needed at first place. Why does it need to use the API? Some links that could be useful:

1. Update to the new GitHub Authorizations API (breaking change) composer/composer#3566 (comment)
2. https://developer.github.com/changes/2014-12-08-removing-authorizations-token/
3. Composer Update Fails due to Github Authorization composer/composer#3542 (comment)
4. https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/master/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md#api-rate-limit-and-oauth-tokens

I was aborting it and didn`t get the plugin. But if I give it an empty token it fails and it is taking the plugin from the dist, which is perfectly fine.

Token (hidden):
No token given, aborting.
You can also add it manually later by using "composer config github-oauth.github.com <token>"

Package raven/raven is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use sentry/sentry instead.

Hello @buric

Same question is mine, I am not sure why this was needed at first place?

@kumail-raza are you perhaps on a mac? I only see this prompt from my host mac machine, but not when run inside a docker ubuntu container.

You will follow this link to generate a new token

I had the same problem. Composer could not unzip dist package and try to clone repository, and maybe some repository is private.

{
    "require": {
        "vlucas/phpdotenv": "^2.5"
    }
}

apt-get update && apt-get install zip -y

Thanks buddy it helped.

when i already create a token nothing happen at my terminal, it took so long. it never asked

The correct thing to do is install the system libraries, not fall back to git access:

apt-get install zip unzip php-zip

I've encountered this twice, different projects. Both were resolved by installing git in the docker or vagrant. An odd error resolved by installing git.

Thank you very much. Was looking for this long time.

I had this error as well, but I'm not using any private repo, so it didn't make sense to me to generate a token.

I could resolve this issue for myself by removing the vendor dir and running composer install again.

I had this error and ended with changing the owner of the .cache/composer/vcs/ folder to non-root
