Can't install Laravel via Composer

Question

I have a problem Composer and Laravel. I found a lot of similar topic but it doesn't work. So when I try install Laravel it will show me: Installing laravel/laravel (v5.5.22)

• Installing laravel/laravel (v5.5.22): Loading from cache Created project in sadsa

  @php -r "file_exists('.env') || copy('.env.example', '.env');" Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies (including require-dev) Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:

  • /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini
  • /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/10-opcache.ini

When I try install it globally, I have this but I can't use Laravel new something command:

Changed current directory to /home/michal/.composer Using version ^1.5 for laravel/installer ./composer.json has been updated Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies (including require-dev) Nothing to install or update Generating autoload files How I said I found a lot of topic but nothing works like install mbstring and so on.

Answer 1

Looks to me it is mainly focus at message requires ext-dom . Possible work around i can suggest is to install following packages:

• php-xml

• php-common

Or you can try with specific php version as follow:

• php7.0-xml

• php7.0-common

for php 7.0

 sudo apt-get install php7.0-xml

Answer 2

I am using Ubuntu 17.10 and PHP 7.1 is running well using

sudo apt-get install php7.1-xml

If you are using another version of PHP, for example: 7.0 can change it to

sudo apt-get install php7.0-xml

Don't forget to alwasy restart web server, for example in Ubuntu you can type in terminal:

sudo service apache2 reload

After that you can try run composer again. Hope this helps.
