How can I install doctrine/mongodb-odm-bundle?

Question

When I run composer require doctrine/mongodb-odm-bundle from CMD I get these cryptic messages:

Using version ^4.1 for doctrine/mongodb-odm-bundle
./composer.json has been updated

Loading composer repositories with package information

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

What I undesrstand is I need to uninstall symfony/symfony in order to install doctrine/mongodb-odm-bundle. Either I'm mistaken or the I don't understand what the messages mean.

Answer 1

Considering the infos on packagist the version 4+ is not compatible with Symfony 3.

However, the version 3.6.1 (the lastest of the 3.x) is compatible with Symfony 3.4

To specify this version, use

composer require doctrine/mongodb-odm-bundle:3.6.1
