*Im running Windows 10.

I open the cmd and type:

Im getting the following lines within the cmd:

Loading composer repositories with package information

but it seems that its all good and the folder structure is correct.

then i type the following commnad in order to download all my dependecies [vendor dir]: 


composer install

and i am getting the following lines within the cmd:

You are running Composer with SSL/TLS protection disabled. Loading composer repositories with package information Warning: Accessing packagist.org over http which is an insecure protocol. Updating dependencies (including require-dev) Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

It seems like like your installation is missing mbstring extension. You need to install/enable that. Can you run phpinfo() and see if it is actually loading? This might give you some help: knowledgebase-script.com/kb/article/… It might be as simple as enabling it, or you may need to download/install it first. If you're using wamp, click on the Tray Icon, go to PHP -> PHP Extensions and tick php_mbstring and see if that solves it. – Giedrius

i use xampp when i run the phpinfo() it says mbstring: enabled – user7326641
Please check that your composer is using the same PHP version. Or try explicitly run composer with that php version (if you navigate to the bin folder where php executable sits and run php ~/composer.phar (or whereever your composer.phar file sits and then the rest of your command). It is also possible that you have multiple config files - try running phpinfo() in your command line terminal and see if extension is enabled. – Giedrius

Congratulations!

Finally I found the solution.
I've uninstalled composer and i discovered i have 2 php configurations within my pc. I've deleted the configuration that located outside the xampp folder. Ive downloaded a new PHP extracted it into xampp folder (you need to change the php.ini-development file to: php.ini) then you have to find (ctrl+f): extension_dir and modify it to your path in my case C:/xampp/php/ext then installed composer, located the php.exe and then it said theres an issue with openssl so i modified within the php.ini file the relevant extension (simply remove the ;) now its working just great.

Thanks for the help
