Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages for pinterest API

Question

This is the Github Page for API. This is the command I run in composer:

composer require dirkgroenen/Pinterest-API-PHP 0.2.11

and this is the error I get

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1 - The requested package dirkgroenen/pinterest-api-php No version set (parsed as 1.0.0) is satisfiable by dirkgroenen/pinterest-api-php[No version set (parsed as 1.0.0)] but these conflict with your requirements or minimum-stability.

Here is the link to packagist page of the API.

The composer.json file has the following data:

"require": {
    "php": ">=5.4",
    "ext-curl": "*"
},
"require-dev": {
    "phpunit/phpunit": "4.7.*",
    "vlucas/phpdotenv": "^2.2"
},

The requirements in the composr.json file match those specified on the packagist page so how can I resolve this error?

The proper format should be:

composer require "dirkgroenen/Pinterest-API-PHP:0.2.11"

Or alternatively, you can add it to your composer.json:

"dirkgroenen/Pinterest-API-PHP" : "0.2.11",

Then do a composer install

Do I add it under `require` or `require-dev`? – SanJeet Singh Aug 18 '16 at 05:00

That depends on whether or not it is required for your application to run or not. See this post for more information: http://stackoverflow.com/a/29304370/2020002 – Derek Pollard Aug 18 '16 at 05:02
I have tried both these methods but I still keep getting the exact same error. – SanJeet Singh Aug 18 '16 at 05:11
have you tried just: `composer require dirkgroenen/Pinterest-API-PHP` ? – Derek Pollard Aug 18 '16 at 05:14
No, I directly typed `composer require "dirkgroenen/Pinterest-API-PHP:0.2.11"` – SanJeet Singh Aug 18 '16 at 05:19
Try using just `composer require dirkgroenen/Pinterest-API-PHP` – Derek Pollard Aug 18 '16 at 05:20
In my first attempt I had tried `composer require dirkgroenen/Pinterest-API-PHP` but that gave me the error so I tried `composer require dirkgroenen/Pinterest-API-PHP 0.2.11` and that gave me the same error too. – SanJeet Singh Aug 18 '16 at 05:20

Looks like this guys had the same problem: https://github.com/dirkgroenen/Pinterest-API-PHP/issues/20 and was able to resolve it by creating a new composer project – Derek Pollard Aug 18 '16 at 05:23
I read that but could not understand what it meant. Should I delete all the files and then try again? – SanJeet Singh Aug 18 '16 at 05:26
