Trying to install Laravel for Windows. Downloaded the composer.phar file onto my desktop, and in command line ran: php composer.phar create-project laravel/laravel learning-laravel-5.
Got this message:
Failed to download laravel/laravel from dist: you must enable the openssl extension to download via https
Now trying to download from source...
Any ideas?
You have to activate the according openssl-extension in your php.ini file.
If you're using XAMPP:
Find line ;extension=php_openssl.dll in xampp\php\php.ini and remove the semicolon from the beginning of the line.
Hope that helps.

so I'm downloading laravel on windows through composer and it is giving me the following error
" Failed to download symfony/process from dist: The zip extension and unzip/7z commands are both missing, skipping."
I googled a bit and most of the answers were to use the command
" sudo apt-get install zip unzip php-zip ".
But I'm using windows and I can't find any answer relating to the issue.
Had the same problem too (Windows). Fixed it by;
Open the php.ini file and uncomment ;extension=zip to extension=zip
https://www.php.net/manual/en/zip.installation.php#zip.installation.new.windows:
As of PHP 8.2.0, php_zip.dll DLL must be enabled in php.ini. Previously, this extension was built-in.
Already installed composer to 'C:/xampp/htdocs/crud' with cmd. However trying to install laravel via the 'composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog' command does not download or install anything. The 'composer global require laravel/installer' command produces the same result.
PS: don't know if it wrecks anything but, I was having trouble running the composer command at first, kept saying there is no app to open '.phar' files. I found an answer here that asked me run .phar files with php.exe by default and thats what i did.
A picture to show what happens when I run the composer commands to install laravel...
I'm trying to install Laravel with composer on Windows 7 and am running into an error. This is the command I'm running:
composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
This is the error I get:
file_put_contents(C:\Users\myUser\AppData\Roaming\Composer/vendor/composer/installed.json): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
It's correct to say that the installed.json file does not exist, there's not even a composer folder inside the vendor folder. Not sure why that would be missing. I installed composer using the Windows installer.
Seems to be a composer related issue rather than laravel. I just tried installing yii and am getting a similar error running this:
composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic MyApp
For this one, I get this after it successfully creates the folder and seems to load most files:
file_put_contents(C:\wwwroot\MyApp/vendor/composer/installed.json): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Seems like the problem is that I never have a composer folder in my vendor folder.
UPDATE
I was able to get laravel to install globally by adding the COMPOSER_HOME environment variable. But I still run into a similar error when setting up a Laravel project after that
UPDATE 2
Some additional info, when I use the Windows Installer, composer gets installed in c:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin. If I set the COMPOSER_HOME environment variable to this, laravel can get installed globally. But trying to install a project using the "laravel new MyApp" throws the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or '{' or '$' in C:\wwwroot\MyApp\artisan on line 31
I suspect that's because I have PHP 5.4 and the latest version of laravel is 5.6 and above, but I want to install 5.0, which is 5.4 and above. I tried doing it using "composer create-project laravel/laravel MyApp 5.0 --prefer-dist" instead. I get the following error:
file_put_contents(c:\wwwroot\MyApp/vendor/composer/installed.json): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Seems there's just something weird going on with paths that I can't quite figure out.
UPDATE 3
I've now uninstalled composer and re-installed it manually per the instructions provided on the composer site. I'm now trying to create a project using the following command from c:\wwwroot:
composer create-project laravel/laravel c:\wwwroot\MyApp --prefer-dist
It does manage to install some stuff, but seems I get this error before any package it tries to install:
Installing laravel/laravel (v5.1.4)
Loading from cache
Failed to download laravel/laravel from dist: RecursiveDirectoryIterator::__construct(C:\wwwroot/vendor/composer/,C:\wwwroot/vendor/composer/): The system cannot find the path specified. (code: 3)
Again, seems like it can't create a directory for vendor/composer for some reason. I tried running the same command, but from inside an empty c:\wwroot\MyApp folder, same result except the path in the error changes accordingly.
I found the following: https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md#-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified-windows-
But I checked my registry and I have none of these entries. So still no clue.
It seems that your composer is not globally accessible. Try to add C:\Users{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin to your environment variable then restart your Shell or Command-Prompt so that updated Path variables is loaded. Now try to install laravel again.
Here is the detailed instruction:
Go to Control Panel > Systems ans Security > System > Advanced system settings then navigate to envirinment variables then scroll down and locate the PATH then add a semi colon (;) at the end of the PATH string. This means you are declaring a new variable. Then paste the C:\Users{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin after (;) you have added, restart the command prompt and try to install laravel again.
Uninstall composer and install it again, but this time do enable shell menu. Right click on the location (directory) where you want to create the project, select "use composer here", then "composer create-project laravel/laravel projectName --prefer-dist" should create your laravel project, default to latest version (5.1).
To specify your prefer version:
"composer create-project laravel/laravel 4.2 projectName --prefer-dist"
I will suggest you to install Homestead (http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/laravel-homestead-on-windows) and do all the heavylifting there.
You just need to do homestead ssh to actually connect to your machine and then perform all your operations.
Windows is pretty unpredictable in that kind of situations and in web development in general.
I have been trying to install Laravel framework on WAMP.
I been following the steps from http://laravel.com/
and Installing Laravel 4.1 in Windows 7 // Make .phar file globally available to windows command line
When i run the command
composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist , getting the error message
[RuntimeException]
You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https
But i have enabled openssl in php.ini by removing the comment sign.
Please help
If you are using WAMPServer here is the problem:
WAMPServer's PHP CLI ( Command Line Interface ) i.e. running php.exe from command line uses a different php.ini to the one used by PHP in Apache.
Edit \wamp\bin\php\php5.x.y\php.ini
Activate the extensions you require the PHP CLI to have access to in the usual way i.e. remove the comment ';' from the extension=php_xxxx.dll line.
Wamp uses 2 php.ini
first one that you changed from the Wamp panel and second one that located on Apache folder.
i think on the wamp/bin/apache/bin make sure to enable openssl on both and restart the Wamp.
This worked for me. Hope this helps you.

What am I doing wrong?
You need to enable the OpenSSL extension for your PHP installation. In your php.ini file (in C:\xampp\php) uncomment the following line:
extension=php_openssl.dll
Just remove the ; in front of it.
Once you've saved your changes, restart Apache, and it should work.
