Question

Answer 1

old thread but new problem for me. No solutions here were working when trying to install google/apiclient (it failed on google/apiclient-services) on an Ubuntu VM within a Windows 10 host.

After noticing Windows' "antimalware executable" taking up considerable CPU cycles when doing this composer install/update, I disabled "real-time protection" on the Windows 10 machine, and my composer update/install worked!!

Hope that helps someone.
