cakephp 3.0 composer installation issue

Question

After executing

php composer.phar create-project -s dev cakephp/app 

I receive the following problem

Problem 1

• The requested package php could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.

Problem 2

• The requested package php could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.

Problem 3

• Installation request for cakephp/cakephp 3.0.*-dev -> satisfiable by cakephp/cakephp[3.0.x-dev].
• cakephp/cakephp 3.0.x-dev requires php >=5.4.19 -> no matching package found.

NB:

• I have php 5.4.4 installed
• I have composer updated to the latest commit
• OS : MAC MAVRICX

Answer 1

The error message reads:

cakephp/cakephp 3.0.x-dev requires php >=5.4.19

But

I have php 5.4.4 installed

php 5.4.4 is not >= 5.4.19, cannot be used, and cannot be upgraded via composer hence the error output. The solution to this is to install a version of php that does satisfy that requirement.

Answer 2

first install php5-intl than go for composser

sudo apt-get install php5-intl

  Note: This is required.

Step 1 cd /ldc/home/

Step 2 curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
