Your software
My PHP version is : 7.4
My MySQL/MariaDB version is (delete as applicable): mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.3.34-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2

Installing Errors
I am : Installing
installing via : Command Line

My first time using composer and it has not been as easy as I would have hoped. Firstly I installed composer but see it was composer 1 and had to find out how to upgrade to composer 2.

Then went ahead and ran the command:

composer create-project mautic/recommended-project:^4 mautic --no-interaction

These errors are showing in the installer :

I got a number of warnings and errors, pasting them below:

 - Installing composer/installers (v1.12.0): Extracting archive
For additional security you should declare the allow-plugins config with a list of packages names that are allowed to run code. See https://getcomposer.org/allow-plugins
You have until July 2022 to add the setting. Composer will then switch the default behavior to disallow all plugins.
  - Installing composer/package-versions-deprecated (1.11.99.1): Extracting archive

then

My problem is : What do I do now ? :slight_smile:

Steps I have tried to fix the problem :

2

Hey, I am also almost new to all this. I succeeded “upgrading” to composer 2 by following these steps:

1 Step: I removed composer completely (also php and so on)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30396451/remove-composer
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove composer

2 Step: I installed php and composer afterwards:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-php-7-4-and-set-up-a-local-development-environment-on-ubuntu-20-04

3 Step: Because I could not run composer simply by typing composer (instead /usr/local/bin/composer), than I found a way to “alias” it:

alias composer=’/usr/local/bin/composer’

Step 3 I really do not understand. By typing echo $PATH gives me:

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

so the path /usr/local/bin is in the $PATH , so composer could be found…

Strange is that all over says that inside /usr/local/bin should be composer.phar, which I do not have, but only the composer.

Hope it helps.

I can confirm, M4.4.8 install is broken.
