Im trying to install the installation package from Typo3 with Composer but not the latest version. I need 9.5. Do you know how can i do it with composer? installing the extension installs only the latest version. In the Webpage there´sa zip file but i dont know if i can use it with composer..

Thank you!

Answer 1

You can use following:

eg in your composer.json

"require": {
    "vendor/package": "1.3.2", // exactly 1.3.2

in your case:

 {
    "require": {
        "typo3/cms": "9.5"
    } 
}

For more info on versioning, have a look at Composer - Version and Constraints

EDIT: Error : When running a composer-based TYPO3 instance, it is not possible anymore to require the whole TYPO3 Core via composer require typo3/cms. This package is solely used for Core-development purposes from now on.

Instead, all system extensions maintained by the TYPO3 Core Team must be required individually.

Some examples:

composer require typo3/cms-core:^9
composer require typo3/cms-fluid-styled-content:^9
composer require typo3/cms-extbase:^9
composer require typo3/cms-workspaces:^9
composer require typo3/cms-sys-note:^9

For convenience, TYPO3 projects can simply require composer require typo3/minimal to get the main system extensions that are needed for a running TYPO3 instance, and add custom system extensions as mentioned above.

Impact: Installing or updating the composer package typo3/cms will show an error for TYPO3 v9.

ie use:

{
    "require": {
        "typo3/minimal": "9.5"
    } 
}

Answer 2

Just add the version you want to install as parameter to composer:

composer create-project typo3/cms-base-distribution my-new-project 9.5

Answer 3

You can try following:

composer require typo3/cms-introduction:4.0.1

Introduction package version 4.0.1 is compatible with TYPO3 9.5, you can check: https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/introduction/
