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

Answer 1

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.
