I can not get Moltin Laravel Cart to install

Question

I can not get Moltin Laravel Cart to install. It always tells me that Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Get this output from the Terminal:

Problem 1

• Installation request for moltin/laravel-cart dev-master -> satisfiable by moltin/laravel-cart[dev-master].

• moltin/laravel-cart dev-master requires moltin/cart dev-master -> no matching package found.

Potential causes:

• A typo in the package name
• The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting

I just have added the requirement in the composer.json file as the tutorial says

...
"require": {
"laravel/framework": "4.1.*",
"intervention/image": "dev-master",
"moltin/laravel-cart": "dev-master"
},
...

Could anybody tell me how to fix it?

Answer 1

Change

minimum-stability: 'stable' to minimum-stability: 'dev'

Then after

minimum-stability: 'dev'

just add

"prefer-stable": true

like such:

"minimum-stability": "dev",
"prefer-stable": true

Answer 2

You can define all the required packages first as dev-master as this will avoid the required packages not loading due to no stable versions being found. i.e.

"require": {
"laravel/framework": "4.1.*",
"moltin/currency": "dev-master",
"moltin/tax": "dev-master",
"moltin/cart": "dev-master",
"moltin/laravel-cart": "dev-master"
},

Changing the minimum-stability to dev at the bottom of composer.json will also achieve the same. i.e.

"minimum-stability": "dev",
"prefer-stable": true
