Issue getting this to install about cli

[jasonvarga]

Did you only try it once? What if you cancel and try again?

[asha23]

I've tried it a number of times now. Deleted the lock file, restarted my machine. It just hangs for some reason.

[jasonvarga]

Can you globally require some other package?

[asha23]

Good point. Just tried

composer global require laravel/installer

And it now hangs on both statamic and laravel...

User error I guess.. Maybe my composer installation is broken somehow.

Try removing statamic/cli from your global composer.json then try installing laravel/installer. Just to rule out that the cli package still isn't the cause.

[asha23]

Did that, and removed composer.lock as well.

It downloads some things I think. It's now hanging on - Downloading laravel/valet (v3.1.9)

[asha23]

In the top bar of the terminal it's flickering between php and git usr/local/bin/composer global require laravel/installer

[jasonvarga]

At this point I'd say it's not a Statamic issue so you should open up one on the composer/composer repo.

I hope you can figure it out, that sounds frustrating. Sorry about that!

[asha23]

Yeah. looks like it might be an issue on my end. Thanks for your help
