When trying to install valet and composer I get this message. Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content


I'm trying to get valet working but when I run

composer global require cretueusebiu/valet-windows

I get this error:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages. Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

Here is the full output:

  To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
    - C:\php7\php.ini
  You can also run `PHP --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

Solution

  • The error message is pretty clear. valet-windows depends on nategood/httpful. Every listed version of nategood/httpful depends on PHP's curl extension, which your system doesn't have:

    nategood/httpful 0.2.9 requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system.
    

    curl probably comes with whatever version of PHP you have installed, and enabling it probably just involves uncommenting

    ;extension=php_curl.dll
    

    in your php.ini by removing the leading ;.
