How to install through composer

[atishgoswami]

I tried to install the module using composer but as there is no composer.json on the root of the project throws error while installation.

Steps Taken:

composer config repositories.meanbee-royalmail git https://github.com/meanbee/magento2-royalmail.git
composer require meanbee/module-royalmail -vvv

Getting this error during installation:

Writing /home/vagrant/.composer/cache/repo/https---github.com-meanbee-magento2-royalmail.git/780ec5d96f9df1f2da83bcca299724ec30976ed4 into cache

Please make the package composer friendly.

Thanks @atishgoswami. This wasn't necessary when we were submitting to Magento Marketplace but we will now consider this after having removed it from there. I did recently come across this myself because I was looking to submit to package it. It is a low priority for me at the moment so if you fancy submitting a PR I'd be happy to review it. I think the main thing is the setup process will need to change a bit.

@atishgoswami - did you have any luck creating composer.json?

[atishgoswami]

@munawar99 Just checking on a few things I should have something to provide a pull request by tomorrow.

Hi @atishgoswami

Thanks for providing this. I got this working and I'm posting this in case it helps anyone. It didn't work on PHP 5.6 due to a PHP bug where class names get mixed up but it worked on PHP 7.0:

Add to /composer.json:
{
"repositories": [
{
"type": "git",
"url": "https://github.com/atishgoswami/magento2-royalmail"
}
],
"require": {
"meanbee/module-royalmail": "dev-php-composer-fixes"
}

and also:
minimum-stability: "dev"
}

composer require meanbee/module-royalmail -vvv

The next bit is a bit hazy because I had a problem with Magento not picking up the files. I copied the module's src/ files into their parent directory and edited the module's composer.json PSR-4 section to say "" instead of "src/". I'll need to revisit this later because I'm unsure what happened here, or why.

php bin/magento module:enable Meanbee_RoyalMail
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile

@munawar99 Thanks for pointing that out I have made some changes to resolve the error.

I have installed extension successfully using COMPOSER, please try following steps for more information.

1 - make a directory /path/to/zipfiles/
2 - Create zip of /magento2-royalmail-master/src/ folder and rename with Royalmail-{packageversion}.zip
2 - drop Royalmail-{packageversion}.zip to that folder (/path/to/zipfiles/)
3 - go to magento root folder and : composer config repositories.meanbee-royalmail artifact /path/to/zipfiles/ 
4 - install the package : composer require "meanbee/module-royalmail:0.1.3"
5 - run following

php bin/magento module:enable Meanbee_RoyalMail;
php bin/magento setup:upgrade;
php bin/magento setup:di:compile;
php bin/magento cache:flush;

@aasim110 Thanks for those instructions. However, they didn't work for me. Could it be because I am running the Magento installation on WAMP?

Anyway, I was able to follow instructions 1, 2, & 3 without error. Following instruction 4 produced this error:

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

With kind regards,

Mark

Are there any clear guidelines as to how to install this extension? :(

[bobbyshaw]

Sorry, we're no longer going to be supporting this extension. I'll leave this repository accessible for anyone that wants to make use of it but we aren't going to be actively developing it.
