Hi everybody.
I’m trying to build an application using CakePHP 5.x and I’m having trouble. I’m getting a lot of error messages, such as:
“Could not find package cakephp/app with stability stable.”
using command:
composer self-update && composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app:5.* cms,
return… " Could not find package cakephp/app with version 5.*."
Can anyone help me?
Just remove the version constraint:
# as of today it gives you 5.1.2
composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app cms
And if you really want to put a version constraint in
composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app=^5.1.2 cms
And if you want to upgrade to the latest cakephp (5.2.5)
cd cms
composer require cakephp/cakephp:^5.2
Make sure you use composer v2 since composer v1 is EOL.
composer self-update --2
then execute the command again AND show us the output from that command
I’m back!!! tank you

It works just fine. At least on my Linux Mint.
Maybe dont run it on Windows directly, but in some form of more useful powershell 
Your composer is borked somehow. That error makes no sense as cakephp/app has years worth of stable releases.
