Installing Rocketeer with Laravel 4.1, getting composer update error

Question

I am trying to get Rocketeer (https://github.com/Anahkiasen/rocketeer/wiki/Getting-started) set up with my Laravel 4.1 project. Per the documentation, I added:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://github.com/changwuf31/remote"
    }
    ]

to the end of my composer.json file.

And in the required field, I added:

"illuminate/remote": "dev-master"

When I run this, I get:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Any ideas what is going on?

Answer 1

It seems like you are on Laravel 4.1. The documentation on Rocketeer says this:

If you're on 4.1 you can skip to the next step.

The one you are doing is the step to be skipped, that is only to be done if you are on laravel 4.0.

Remove what you previewsly did, and do this instead:

Installing Rocketeer

Now type the following to your terminal:

composer require anahkiasen/rocketeer:dev-master.

You'll need to add these lines to the providers array in your app/config/app.php file :

'Rocketeer\RocketeerServiceProvider',

Then, this line to the aliases array in your app/config/app.php file :

'Rocketeer' => 'Rocketeer\Facades\Rocketeer',

Then publish the config :

artisan deploy:ignite

And it should work.

Your composer json should now look somethnig like this:

{
    "name": "laravel/laravel",
    "description": "The Laravel Framework.",
    "keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.1.*",
        "way/generators": "2.*",
        "madewithlove/laravel-oauth2": "0.4.*",
        "nesbot/Carbon": "*",
        "anahkiasen/rocketeer": "dev-master"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "app/commands",
            "app/controllers",
            "app/models",
            "app/libraries",
            "app/lastfmapi",
            "app/database/migrations",
            "app/database/seeds",
            "app/tests/TestCase.php",
            "app/helpers"

    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "php artisan clear-compiled",

        "post-update-cmd": [

            "php artisan key:generate"
        ]
    },
    "config": {

    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
