安装composer.phar

Question

I've been trying to install composer.phar to my HostGator website. However, I come across this error:

[~/public_html/flarum]# php composer.phar install
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
- flarum/core v0.1.0-beta.4 requires php >=5.5.9 -> your PHP version (5.4.45) or value of "config.platform.php" in composer.json does not satisfy that requirement.
- flarum/core v0.1.0-beta.3 requires php >=5.5.9 -> your PHP version (5.4.45) or value of "config.platform.php" in composer.json does not satisfy that requirement.
- flarum/flarum-ext-suspend v0.1.0-beta.3 requires flarum/core ^0.1.0-beta.3 -> satisfiable by flarum/core[v0.1.0-beta.3, v0.1.0-beta.4].
- Installation request for flarum/flarum-ext-suspend ^0.1.0 -> satisfiable by flarum/flarum-ext-suspend[v0.1.0-beta.3].

I have updated my PHP to the newest via the cPanel .

If there is any help at all that I could get on this it would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Your PHP version is too low for Flarum. You need 55 or better 56.

Enable and use a higher PHP version on HostGator.

To find the other PHP versions take a look at the /opt/ folder.

# /opt/php56/bin/php composer.phar install
