Can't install Sage with composer create-project due to php version error

sage
1

Trying to install Sage 9 via composer into a wordpress install running php 7.1.4 with:

composer create-project roots/sage sagetest dev-master

but am getting this error:

Could not find package roots/sage with version dev-master in a version installable using your PHP version 5.6.30

phpinfo(); confirms I am running php 7.1.4

Thoughts on this? Thanks in advance

Is your phpinfo output the same as your PHP CLI though? What happens when you try php -v?

Hi @richard @ben
I have the same issue i have php -v 5.6.30 so i have tried to install php 7 on my system with :
curl -s https://php-osx.liip.ch/install.sh | bash -s 7.1

but i still get php -v 5.6.30 in my terminal

also, in my .bash_profile i have those lines :

export PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin:$PATH"
alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar"
alias wpinstall="~/Scripts/wpinstall.sh"

export NVM_DIR="/Users/Mecanographik/.nvm"

[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  
# This loads nvm
#source ~/.bashrc

export PATH="$HOME/.yarn/bin:$PATH"

any help would be really appreciated ! :sweat_smile:

Hi @ben
Nevermind i have managed to fix my problem with brew using this ressource :

brew update && brew upgrade
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
brew unlink php56  
brew install php71

than in your terminal, type:
export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH

now i have php 7.1 version on my system and the following command works :wink::rocket:

composer create-project roots/sage your-theme-name dev-master

Hope it helps someone else

Please read the post above yours

But I already have “php”: “>=7”, mentioned by php -v

Please READ the error you pasted

You’re missing PHP extensions

Thank you, guys. Sharing my expirience in Ubuntu Linux.
Composer has obsolete PHP_CodeSniffer version.

sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
sudo apt install php-pear && sudo pear install PHP_CodeSniffer

Some of these have been depreciated. A helpful, more recent blog post here:

Came across this problem this morning on a fresh install of Sage where the error similar to cannot satisfy requirements because I had php7.1 locally and needed greater than that.

Also didn’t realise composer was looking at my system’s php, not the virtual machine’s…

Hope this helps.
