I was following a tutorial on Lynda.com, and I am completely new to the composer/laravel scene. The tutorial told me to install the MCrypt libarary, which I did successfully from this package:
topicdesk.com/downloads/mcrypt/mcrypt-download
Composer seems to be successfully installed/running. I then went ahead and opened terminal, and put in the following command:
composer create-project laravel/laravel first_app --prefer-dist
Which resulted in the following error:
Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-install-cmd event returned with an error
[RuntimeException]
Error Output:
create-project [-s|--stability="..."] [--prefer-source]
[--prefer-dist] [--repository-url="..."]
[--dev] [--no-dev] [--no-plugins]
[--no-custom-installers] [--no-scripts] [--no-progress] [--keep-vcs]
[--no-install] [package] [directory] [version]
Any ideas on what the issue may be? After looking around on the forums, it seems to me that it is a very case specific issue. Where do I begin in finding what may be preventing it from working correctly?
