I'm trying to install Laravel by using the command, "sudo composer create-project laravel/laravel my_project --prefer-dist", but I keep getting the error:
[Composer\Downloader\TransportException]
The "https://packagist.org/packages.json" file could not be downloaded: failed to open stream: Network is unreachable
To see if everything was okay, I ran the command, "composer diagnose" and got the following output:

And everything apart from the first item is good to go.
Testing the network elements with "curl https://packagist.org/packages.json", the contents of the file is displayed:

Which in theory proves that the network and the server can see the actual file. I've also set via the export command, the HTTP and HTTPS proxies to that of the companies.
I've amended the priority such the IPv4 is higher than IPv6.
Running "composer clearcache" before the commands above makes no difference, neither does changing the repository for the packagist.
Running the command, "curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --check", once again returns the output of:
All settings correct for using Composer
Does anyone have any other idea as to what I may do to try and get this working? Could it still be a network issue, I'm not sure as to what stream Composer is trying to use.
Thanks for any input given on this problem.
