Error when installing any kind of Extensions

WivioPooCode

Whenever I try to install a theme or add-on It errors out with the error:

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

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for the-turk/flarum-stargazing-theme ^0.1.1 -> satisfiable by the-turk/flarum-stargazing-theme[0.1.1].
    - the-turk/flarum-stargazing-theme 0.1.1 requires flarum/core ^0.1.0-beta.10 -> satisfiable by flarum/core[0.1.x-dev, v0.1.0-beta.10, v0.1.0-beta.11, v0.1.0-beta.11.1, v0.1.0-beta.12, v0.1.0-beta.13] but these conflict with your requirements or minimum-stability.

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

Is there a way to fix this?

WivioPooCode make sure you are running the command in the Flarum directory.

If that's already the case, can you share the output of php flarum info?

WivioPooCode

clarkwinkelmann Ok I used the cd command and tried installing it not it does not give me a error but just says Killed

WivioPooCode killed

The allowed execution time or available memory is not sufficient for Composer.

What kind of hosting are you using? If it's managed you should check the hosting FAQ or contact their support to see whether those can be modified. If you're hosting on a VPS, you might need to adjust your PHP settings or add SWAP.

clarkwinkelmann Im using namecheap is that supported?

clarkwinkelmann

WivioPooCode I'm not familiar with mailcheap. Is that a shared hosting, managed VPS, unmanaged VPS?

If they provided Composer for you, then they should definitely have a way to request additional resources.

clarkwinkelmann The name is namecheap and it is shared hosting. I contacted there support and they said to edit the php.ini file. How much ram should I allow?

[deleted]

WivioPooCode this depends on how much ram is available. Generally, 512Mb is the recommended minimum. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36107400/composer-update-memory-limit

Is there a way to install plugins manually

askvortsov

WivioPooCode composer is the manual method.

WivioPooCode

askvortsov I meant that as in is there a way to install plugins by not using composer like uploading the source code onto the server

clarkwinkelmann

WivioPooCode you can run Composer on another computer, and upload composer.json, composer.lock and vendor to your hosting. If you have composer on the hosting, you can also skip uploading vendor and run composer install on the server to download the dependencies listed in composer.lock without re-computing the dependency tree.

That other computer should run an identical setup (operating system, PHP version, ...) to download the right dependencies for the server. You can also define platform attributes in composer.json if you want to run Composer on a different computer that is not an identical setup.

This is however not the way we usually recommend doing it. I wouldn't recommend those options if you are not familiar with how Composer works. But it's a great way to either reduce memory usage or deploy Flarum in continuous deployment. For now we officially can't provide support for hosts where Composer can't be run.

clarkwinkelmann Thanks this is what I found out on my searching online too. This is how I upload plugins now
