I'm trying to install Tawk.to chat in my Magento 2.1.9 shopping site hosted on a cPanel shared server environment. And I downloaded the extension files following the guidelines given here:
https://www.tawk.to/knowledgebase/plugins-and-modules/magento-2-integration/
After extracting and copying the files to the root directory of my website, I requested my web host to run the needed command lines. After that my site went blank, and I when I inquired from the hosting provider, I was informed that the process was halted, because of an error message that displayed:
=========================================== [root@sixteen public_html]# php composer.phar require tawk/widget Authentication required (repo.magento.com): Username: my_magento_public_key Password: my_magento_private_key Do you want to store credentials for repo.magento.com in /root/.composer/auth.json ? [Yn] y [InvalidArgumentException] Could not find package tawk/widget at any version for your minimum-stability (alpha).

I learnt from online resources that the issue might be in composer.json file. Some tutorials suggest setting minimum stability to -dev. But my composer.json file doesn't even have minimum stability setting, as shown in the code below:
{ "name": "tawk/widget", "description": "Tawk live chat widget", "type": "magento2-module", "version": "1.0.0", "license": [ "OSL-3.0" ], "require": { "php": "~5.6.0|7.0.2|7.0.4|~7.0.12" }, "autoload": { "files": [ "registration.php" ], "psr-4": { "Tawk\\Widget\\": "" } } }
This article suggests setting minimum stability and using stability flags:
http://webtips.krajee.com/setting-composer-minimum-stability-application/
and this article too:

Does anyone know how to put it all together in my composer.json, to fix this minimum stability error?
Thanks for your time and insight in advance.
