So, you need pcntl extension. Read manuals and install it. Then run composer again. - u_mulder

This is because the package d11wtq/boris needs the Process Control Extension (pcntl) of PHP. To install pcntl compile the CGI- or CLI version of PHP with --enable-pcntl.

Note: Currently, this module will not function on non-Unix platforms (Windows).

So hopefully you use something like linux or mac os.
