Magento 2.2 sample data composer version fails

Question

I'm trying to install sample data on Magento 2.2:

composer config http-basic.repo.magento.com public_key priv && \
composer config repositories.magento composer https://repo.magento.com && \
bin/magento sampledata:deploy && \
bin/magento setup:upgrade && \
rm -rf var && \
bin/magento indexer:reindex

But when "bin/magento sampledata:deploy" runs, I get an errors:

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.
There is an error during sample data deployment. Composer file will be reverted.

How can I fix that?

Answer 1

As far as I'm aware, you can't use composer to install the 2.2RC sample data. You need to follow the instructions for installing sample data by cloning the repository.
