I have developed a library and I decided to throw it to the packagist. My composer.json looks like the following
{
"name": "kamranahmedse/php-geocode",
"type": "library",
"description": "A wrapper around the Google Geocoding API to get different details such as latitude, longitude, country, city, district, postcode, town and street number regarding some specific address.",
"keywords": ["location", "address", "addresses", "google", "map", "maps", "gmap", "gmaps", "geocode", "geocoder", "geocoding"],
"homepage": "https://github.com/kamranahmedse/php-geocode",
"license": "MIT",
"authors": [
{
"name": "Kamran Ahmed",
"homepage": "http://kamranahmed.info",
"role": "Developer"
}
],
"autoload": {
"psr-0": {
"Geocode": "src/"
}
},
"require": {
"php": ">=5.2.0"
}
}
and I have hosted my package at https://packagist.org/packages/kamranahmedse/php-geocode and the associated git repository is https://github.com/kamranahmedse/php-geocode. Now to test if my package is working fine, what I did was create a folder. Inside that folder I created this simple composer.json file containing
{
"require": {
"kamranahmedse/php-geocode": "*"
}
}
But whenever I try to run composer install, I'm getting the following error:
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1 - The requested package kamranahmedse/php-geocode could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.
Can anyone please have a look and see what I'm doing wrong here? I've been trying and trying but unable to find any errors as this would be my first package over packagist and I have no prior experience.
I belive it's because you don't have any stable releases, and composer defaults to only downloading stable releases when * is specified.
Either change your version specification to dev-master or set your minimum-stability to dev.
