I tried to install package via composer but it’s keep telling me that this directory is not empty so how can I install package on non-empty folder using composer ? is there force install command ?
error message:
[InvalidArgumentException]
Project directory Yii-GZero-2b/ is not empty.
You currently cant. There is/was a discussion going on over on GitHub which you can read about here: https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/1135.
For now however, you’ll need to create a new directory and then migrate your files over, or visa-versa.
Answer：
For me giving the folder write access worked very well. On windows I right clicked on the mentioned folder and unchecked the Read Only checkbox and saved it and it worked. May be you could also give it a try hope it will work for you as well.
Answer：
For Docker, I delete all docker related files after starting the container, run composer and then put files back to the folder.
Answer：
Instead of run the command
composer.phar create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta
use the specific folder name, for example
composer.phar create-project flarum/flarum /var/www/html/forum/ --stability=beta
Answer：
Folder Must be blank, It’s required because when you run create-project, composer aims to create a completely clean brand new project from scratch.
