yii2 advanced template install with composer error

[thientc84]

Follow the document, I've tried to install yii2-advanced template with these commands:

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.1.1"
composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced yii-application

and get errors:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - yiisoft/yii2 2.0.x-dev requires bower-asset/jquery.inputmask ~3.2.2 -> no matching package found.
    - yiisoft/yii2 dev-master requires bower-asset/jquery.inputmask ~3.2.2 -> no matching package found.
    - yiisoft/yii2 2.0.7 requires bower-asset/jquery 2.2.*@stable | 2.1.*@stable | 1.11.*@stable -> no matching package found.
    - yiisoft/yii2 2.0.6 requires bower-asset/jquery 2.1.*@stable | 1.11.*@stable -> no matching package found.
    - Installation request for yiisoft/yii2 >=2.0.6 -> satisfiable by yiisoft/yii2[2.0.6, 2.0.7, dev-master, 2.0.x-dev].

Potential causes:
 - A typo in the package name
 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
   see <https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability> for more details.

My composer is the latest version.

Please help to solve the problem, thank you.

The problem may be caused by this line in yii2-advanced composer.json:

"minimum-stability": "dev",

I've faced similar problem caused by jquery.inputmask exactly.
I noticed that some their versions did not follow semver and thus resulted error when building dependencies.

You may work it around by adding --stability=stable option:

composer create-project --prefer-dist --stability=stable yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced yii-application

Thank you, but it doesn't work for me, early this morning, Yii team release new stable version 2.0.7, and new guide on it: http://www.yiiframework.com/news/94/yii-2-0-7-is-released/ and here is the new guide: http://www.yiiframework.com/download/

To install the advanced application template, run the command below:
php composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced 2.0.7

I've tried the new one and it completed successfully.

@SilverFire

I had the same issue, solved running this command:
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:^1.0"
before updating composer.json and running
composer update -o

I tried the same @thientc84 but it didn't worked for me. Same error as above. What can be the potentical cause?

[SilverFire]

Check out the solution suggested by @cebe in this comment

[qwabra]

This helped me: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer

composer-cache file permissions #19 -> pgporada commented on 1 Oct 2015

What are the permissions on your /home/webadmin/.composer folder? I just installed composer to set up a dev environment for my team with the following line

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

and it set the permissions of the .composer/ folder in my home dir to

drwxr-xr-x    3 root        staff      102 Oct  1 10:50 .composer

Running this line will fix it.

sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer

Updating yii to latest version helped me:
composer update yiisoft/yii2 yiisoft/yii2-composer bower-asset/jquery.inputmask

@lyhoshva ,thanks，it works as you say。

[lyhoshva]

@nadirvishun , you are welcome.

Here's an alternative solution.

[SilverFire]

Or https://github.com/cebe/assetfree-yii2

[cebe]

Or https://github.com/cebe/assetfree-yii2

this one has all the release versions of yii2, so it is a transparent replacement.

[abdulmanan7]

neither of the above solution given by nice people helped me 👎

probably because the problem occured long time ago. open a new issue, or ask in other places if its not a framework bug:
