Flarum installation error

Emalton

Hello Flarum community!

I've been watching Flarum for about a month now, and today I decided to install it! The thing is, I get a mean looking error when I run the installation.

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

The entire error can be found here:

Thanks in advance for help!

Dominion BLESS YOUR SOUL!! I noticed I had curl installed, but I needed to install php curl. Thanks a bunch! It's installing right now, I'll report back if I run into any issues!

Ooh, it worked! I get this though:

The /var/www/html/forum directory is not writable.
Please chmod this directory to 0775.
The /var/www/html/forum/assets directory is not writable.
Please chmod this directory and its contents to 0775.
The /var/www/html/forum/storage directory is not writable.
Please chmod this directory and its contents to 0775.

I ran:
apt-get install php5-gd php5-mysql
chmod -R 0775 forum
chmod -R 0775 forum/assets/
chmod -R 0775 forum/storage/

Still says that errors need to be resolved. ?
Was that correct? What do I do now? The other discussion isn't very helpful in regards of command execution. (Used to a UI, lol.)

Emalton The PHP extension 'gd' is required.
The PHP extension 'pdo_mysql' is required.

Have you taken care of these requirements? Both of these PHP extensions are needed to use Flarum.

In short, you also need to change the group owner to (probably) www-data

chgrp www-data forum
chgrp -R www-data forum/assets/ forum/storage/
