Composer Installs wrong version by default #172

Hey, just wanted to let you know, that if you try to install your package with composer like you described in the readme, it will install branch v2.

composer require spatie/pdf-to-image

Results in this being installed: https://packagist.org/packages/spatie/pdf-to-image#v2.x-dev

Just fyi. Awesome package by the way, thumbs up!

I had this issue also, composer require spatie/pdf-to-image was installing v2.x-dev 6718a89.

When I changed the version in composer.json from ^2.1 to 2.1 and hit composer update, I got the following error message:

Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires spatie/pdf-to-image 2.1 -> satisfiable by spatie/pdf-to-image[2.1.0].
    - spatie/pdf-to-image 2.1.0 requires ext-imagick * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's imagick extension.

So because I didn't have the imagick extension enabled in my PHP, composer was installing the latest version of v2 that it could without the "ext-imagick" composer requirement (i.e. v2.x.dev)

I checked PHP by running:

php -m | grep imagick

Sure enough there was no imagick module loaded. Fixing this was easy:

pecl install imagick; valet restart

Now composer update gives me the latest v2.1
