Installing packages with composer

Question

I am trying to install gitlist from github. In the doc, I am told to install as dependencies : some packages as phpcpd, phploc. So I installed composer and I added in the composer.json the folowing entries "phpcpd/phpcpd": "1.4.", "phploc/phploc": "1.7.". When I try o build the project with ant, I have the following message :

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages. [exec] [exec] Problem 1 [exec] - The requested package phpcpd/phpcpd * could not be found. [exec] Problem 2 [exec] - The requested package phploc/phploc * could not be found.

So I downloaded the phpcpd.phar and phploc.phar files but I don't know what I can do with it. Can I directly extract the files from the archive and put it in the vendor folder? By the way, why the packages are not found by composer

It probably can't find those packages because it doesn't have the correct repository URL for those packages. In your composer.json file, do you have something like "repositories": [ { "type": "composer", "url": "http://packages.somesite.com/" } ], THis would tell it where to find those packages. — drew010

@drew010, no I don't have any informations as such. I know I can download phpcpd running wget pear.phpunit.de/get/phpcpd.phar. This is the url I should add ? — epsilones

I don't think either of those tools are composer packages yet. Did you just guess?

The github page for phpcpd does not have a composer.json, and on packagist the package cannot be found.

It already has composer.json in there since 27.02.2017 and can be installed using composer require --dev sebastian/phpcpd.

Composer has a PEAR type repository you need to use to install packages from PEAR.

{ "repositories": [ { "type": "pear", "url": "http://pear2.php.net" } ], "require": { "pear-pear2.php.net/PEAR2_Text_Markdown": "*", "pear-pear2/PEAR2_HTTP_Request": "*" } }

From: http://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#pear

For the googlers like me ...

"repositories": [ { "type": "pear", "url": "http://pear.phpunit.de" } ], "require-dev": { "pear-pear.phpunit.de/phpcpd": "*", "pear-pear.phpunit.de/phploc": "*", "pear-pear.phpunit.de/PHP_CodeBrowser": "*" }
