shamsudeen remove nodeloc/flarum-ext-my-emoji from your extensions/composer file. It seem it might no longer be available.

That message is just the wrapper—composer actually failed. check the real error in storage/logs/compose/*.log.

quick things to try:

make sure the PHP CLI path in Admin → Composer Settings is correct and you’ve added a GitHub token.

fix perms/ownership so the web user can write: chown -R www-data:www-data . and chmod -R 775 storage vendor.

bump PHP memory_limit (e.g., 512M) and ensure proc_open/exec aren’t disabled.

If your host blocks running composer from the panel, SSH in and run: composer install or composer update (then php flarum cache:clear).

The exact reason will be in that compose log—peek there first.

the nodeloc/flarum-ext-my-emoji I uninstalled it already by extension manager. but i noticed that whenever i try to intall any extension the same error comes and in the host directory "Flarum/temp-vendor/nodeloc/flarum-ext-my-emoji" this folder is creating, i deleted that folder manually, but after that when i try to install an extension in extension manager, the same folder creating again and again.... and the same Failed to execute error comes.

Thank you

This is the third time i installed Flarum, first time i encountered full site crashed after installing an extension. second time also was same crash, and this time this errors.

shamsudeen Have you tried deleting the line for the relevant extension in the composer.json file located in the root directory, and then installing the new extension?

wow, Thank you, you made my day, i was thinking to move to Discourse. so now am i planning to stick with Flarum, support people are there for non coders and non IT people.

I deleted the line of the "nodeloc/flarum-ext-my-emoji" this extension from the composer.json file, its located in the root directory of web host.

Thank you again.
