Fatal error: Call to undefined method Fxp\Composer\AssetPlugin\Package\Version\VersionParser::parseLinks() in /root/.composer/vendor/fxp/composer-asset-plugin/Repository/VcsPackageFilter.php on line 272

Answer 1

Try to remove the invalid / incomplete version by using

composer global remove fxp/composer-asset-plugin

In case that fails, you might remove the plugin folder manually from Composers home folder:

rm -rf ~/.composer/vendor/fxp

Then, reinstall the plugin and cross fingers that everything works now :)

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.1.1"
