Hi Team, When I use command composer create-project acquia/lightning-project:^8.1.0 MYPROJECT --no-interaction to install lightning project, get following issue. Please refer to the screenshot.

Please help

Looks like you might have some outdated stuff in your composer cache. Can you try running:

$ composer clear-cache

You also might want to double check your global minimum stability setting if you have one.

Thanks for quick reply. I will try again. Maybe there is an network issue.

tony0918 commented 8 years ago

Got a new error. Any idea can help? Thanks.

It looks like @tony0918 was using Windows. There are two issues I had to fix to get this working on Windows:

Install in a folder with a short path (PHP on Windows does not support paths longer than 260 chars)
Pass an absolute path to ProcessExecutor->execute() method call in scripts\ScriptHandler.php:35

$executor->execute('npm run install-libraries', $output, realpath($lightning));

That will fix the error code 267 (The directory name is invalid.).

Right. It was on Windows with Git Bash.
