Hello,
I ran in to a problem while installing flarum.

Kindly help me.

It's a shared Hosting, I have already installed Composer using SSH.

sahilamanu shared hosting, or managed VPS? I'm surprised you were able to install Composer globally on a shared hosting.

Does the shared hosting has any documentation on using Composer on their servers?

When I look up the error online it seems to be related to SSH. The connection might be timing out because there's some time with no activity between Composer output.

Your host might have documentation or support to help you with that. Otherwise if you have access to tools like screen you could run Composer in a screen session so even if the SSH connection cuts it won't kill the command and you can connect back to it later.

clarkwinkelmann Thank you so much for replying. I found out that Composer comes bundled in the My premium plan of Shared hosting. That makes more sense now.

And the stuck is since I am using too much memory and the host is cutting me off. :-(

I really wanted to use Flarum. I feel like I have come so far.

sahilamanu I didn't notice it before writing my reply earlier, but I see you are still on Composer v1. If you manually download the composer.phar for Composer v2 or can convince your host to make the update, you might be able to run Composer v2 within your memory limit since it's a lot more resource efficient.

Thanks clarkwinkelmann let me try that. 👍️
