Question

I included "tymon/jwt-auth" : "~1.0.0-rc.2" in my composer.json file. and when I run composer update, it returns the following errors: Cannot create cache directory /home/mpete/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, or directory is not writable. Proceeding without cache Cannot create cache directory /home/mpete/.composer/cache/files/, or directory is not writable. Proceeding without cache

"require": {
        "php": "^7.1.3",
        "fideloper/proxy": "^4.0",
        "laravel/framework": "5.8.*",
        "laravel/tinker": "^1.0",
        "tymon/jwt-auth" : "~1.0.0-rc.2"

Change the group permission for the folder

sudo chown -R mpete /home/mpete/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org

and the Files folder too

sudo chown -R mpete /home/mpete/.composer/cache/files/

If the problem still persists try

sudo chown -R mpete /home/w3cert/.composer
