I was running into a few issues this evening while trying to install a new project following the setup guide.
The command symfony new my_project_directory --version="6.1.*" --webapp produced the following output:
$ symfony new my_project_directory --version="6.1.*" --webapp
* Creating a new Symfony 6.1.* project with Composer
(running /usr/local/bin/composer create-project symfony/skeleton /Users/mikevrind/code/mikevrind/my_project_directory 6.1.* --no-interaction)
* Setting up the project under Git version control
(running git init /Users/mikevrind/code/mikevrind/my_project_directory)
(running /usr/local/bin/composer require webapp --no-interaction)

First I didn't really understood the problem since I was using a recent Symfony CLI (5.4.14) and a recent PHP version (8.1.11).
Then I noticed the errors where not Symfony related but related to Composer. I was using Composer 2.1.3 (2021-06-09). Updating composer fixed all my issues.
That got me thinking, should (or could) the command symfony check:requirements also check for an outdated Composer version? It would have certainly helped my in this situation. I'm always using Composer within Docker containers so I wasn't aware of my outdated version.
