I have a problem with Composer Package Manager. System is Ubuntu 12.04. I just can't make it work. I pulled my git project and try to run 'composer install', but it seems that nothing actually happens. I just get an information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev)
then nothing actually happens. This is my log from this command run with -vvv parameter:
Does anyone have any idea what can be wrong ? I tried to clear cache, it did not help. I am sure this repo works well as I pulled it to my Windows machine and it downloaded everything just fine. 'composer diagnose' also returned OK. Thanks for any tips.
In first place You should try clearing composer cache.
rm -rf ~/.composer/cache
But more probably it's issue connected with available memory. Increasing memory_limit should help.
Try to view a verbose report:
composer install -vvv
or:
composer update -vvv
If last line shows that process is killed, you need to increase your swap memory:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=512k
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
swapon -s
if it continues killing the process, you need to increase 512k to 1024k or maybe 2048k
Try with this one and make sure that the composer.json file exist in your project directory.
COMPOSER=composer.json composer update
