Can't install laravel installer via composer
PhpLaravelUbuntuLaravel 5Php Problem Overview
I'm trying to install laravel installer with the composer on my Ubuntu PC, but I get this error during the installation. `Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- laravel/installer v1.4.1 requires ext-zip * -> the requested PHP extension zip is missing from your system.
- laravel/installer v1.4.0 requires ext-zip * -> the requested PHP extension zip is missing from your system.
- Installation request for laravel/installer ^1.4 -> satisfiable by laravel/installer[v1.4.0, v1.4.1].
To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in those .ini files:
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/10-opcache.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/10-pdo.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-calendar.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-ctype.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-exif.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-fileinfo.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-ftp.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-gettext.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-iconv.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-json.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-phar.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-posix.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-readline.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-shmop.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-sockets.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-sysvmsg.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-sysvsem.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-sysvshm.ini
- /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-tokenizer.ini
You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

The error appears then I use this comment:
composer global require "laravel/installer"

Solution 1 - Php
It says that it requires zip extension
>laravel/installer v1.4.0 requires ext-zip...
Install using (to install the default version):
sudo apt install php-zip
Or, if you're running a specific version of PHP:
# For php v7.0
sudo apt-get install php7.0-zip
# For php v7.1
sudo apt-get install php7.1-zip
# For php v7.2
sudo apt-get install php7.2-zip
# For php v7.3
sudo apt-get install php7.3-zip
# For php v7.4
sudo apt-get install php7.4-zip

FOR MAC USERS with CATALINA
First, install homebrew. Then, say
brew install php@7.3
brew link php@7.3
restart the console and run the laravel installer

On centos 7 I have used:
yum install php-pecl-zip
because any other solution didn't work for me.

If you're facing this issue with macOS Catalina, I recommend these steps:
-
Install Homebrew (if you haven't already done so): head over to brew.sh or simply run this command:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
-
Run
brew install [email protected]
-
Update your $PATH variable to include the newly installed version of php:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
-
Reload your shell preferences script
$ source ~/.zshrc
orsource ~/.bashrc
-
Finally, install laravel:
composer global require laravel/installer

Works like a charm
Solution 11 - Php
to know your php version
php -v
for php 7.3.0
sudo apt-get install php7.3-zip
Solution 12 - Php
zip extension is missing, You can avoid this error by simple running below command, It will take version by default
sudo apt-get install php-zip
In case you need any specific version, You need to mention a specific version of your php, Suppose I need to install X
version of php-zip then the command will be.
sudo apt-get install phpX-zip
Replace X
with your required version, In my case, it is X = 7.3
Solution 13 - Php
For macOs users you can use Homebrew instead :
# For php v7.0
brew install php@7.0
# For php v7.1
brew install php@7.1
# For php v7.2
brew install php@7.2
# For php v7.3
brew install php@7.3
# For php v7.4
brew install php@7.4
