Google-api-php-client: Cannot install using composer: guzzlehttp/psr7 version is too high!

[AndriusCTR]

Hello,

I want to install this api client, but I get error from composer that the currently installed guzzlehttp/psr7 version is 1.4.1 and it's too high. (This version is needed for amazon web services, which I also installed previously), and you require v. 1.2.* of this dependency, not higher.

What to do? How to install it?

Thank you

We offer a release with all the dependencies included so you don't need to run composer:

Hi,

And how can I install it into my project? I use composer for adding all libraries into my project.

Will I have two versions of guzzlehttp/psr7 after this installation?

Thanks

I don't know much about Composer. When I did a composer install (looks like on Mar 9th) it pulled down guzzlehttp/psr7 1.4.2 what version of google/apiclient is installed?

Hello!
We require ^1.2, which actually includes 1.4.1 (the required version for php-aws). The caret in front of 1.2 indicates we support anything >=1.2 and <2.0.

Try adding this library to composer.json and then running composer update. This will successfully update to the appropriate versions. Do not follow @mattwhisenhunt's instructions of downloading all the dependencies, as this could result in some unintended issues.

The following also worked for me:

composer require google/apiclient
composer require aws/aws-sdk-php

This resulted in the following composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "google/apiclient": "^2.2",
        "aws/aws-sdk-php": "^3.54"
    }
}

Thanks @bshaffer i did run the same command on live server and it seems to work properly (at least installation was successful). Maybe something was messed up on my local dev pc before...
