Error in installing Symfony4

Question

I am new to Symfony skeleton. Can anyone please help to get out from this error for installation of Symfony? I had searched a lot on the internet but cannot find any working solutions. Composer is working well. I am using PHP7 and XAMP server.

Error is Could not find package Symfony/skeleton with stability Stable in a version installable using your PHP version 7.0.2.

Answer 1

Cerad's answer is correct. Please check Requirements for Running Symfony

It states the following:

Symfony 4.0 requires PHP 7.1.3 or higher to run, in addition to other minor requirements.

Answer 2

If you have to live with php7.0 , you are able to install the symfony demo project via symfony installer , see how to install symfony installer for sf3.4 .

After you have installed sf installer , you can install the demo project with old symfony version by doing:

$ symfony new blog 3.0.1

As mentioned by Cerad, you need have php7.1 or newest php version to install latest symfony demo project. But you can also have a try to install the demo project with older version by doing:

$ composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton:3.3

you can find the the release version which you need here

Answer 3

You just need to change your Php version from 7.02 to upper version. I had the same issue, my path variable was pointing at php7.0. , change it to php7.2. and the problem solved immediatly.

Important : Don't forget to restart you terminal.

Answer 4

I had a similar problem not being able to find 4.4 without php version part. In case some one comes in contact with this (As I did), installing Symfony CLI and using it instead of direct composer, might solve the problem.

I was actually able to install Symfony 4.4 project as below

Answer 5

composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton:"^6.0" yourProjetName

try to specify the version 6.0
It solved my problem

Answer 6

I encountered this error while installing Symfony Demo App (Symfony 6). If your PHP runtime has passed symfony check:requirements , you may want to enable PDO-SQLite PHP extension or other project requirements such as the supported PHP version - Symfony Demo's Requirements .

Answer 7

you forgot to specify the installation folder. Use a dot to install in the current folder.
