ACF Pro - Install with bedrock unable to install

Hi,

I have a question I have followed the documentation on the roots.io website on how to install ACF Pro using a private key and version. I have copy-pasted and made changes to the code but without luck. I am unable to install ACF Pro keep getting the same error "Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages."

Can someone help me out?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Are you using composer v2? Have you updated your Bedrock site, especially the composer files?

Very weird for some reason when i use the following:

"require": {
          "ffraenz/private-composer-installer": "^5.0"
 }

It works I am still using V1.0.

Thanks anyways.

The issue is that fraenz/private-composer-installer project/package isn’t updated anymore,
hence it requires a much older vlucas/phpdotenv package as the Bedrock site itself does.
There is a new project/package that is maintained and requires a compatible vlucas/phpdotenv release, see this issue:

Drop-in replacement that is compatible with recent Bedrock sites:
