Laravel installer error message 'failed to open stream: permission denied'

Question

I keep receiving an error when trying to install Laravel.

I already run cmd as administrator and tried fixing this by un-ticking the folder attributes in properties which says

"Read-Only (Only applies to files in folder)"

with the hope that the permission is now accessible by Composer. The problem occurs when I run this command line:

composer global require laravel/installer

I still get this error message:

[ErrorException]
file_put_contents(C:\Users\fikri\AppData\Roaming\Composer): failed to open stream: Permission denied

Answer 1

if you are windos user, open cmd or git bash with administrator privilege

if you are linux user install with super user privilege

sudo composer global require laravel/installer
