Composer: file_put_contents(./composer.json): failed to open stream: Permission denied

$ composer global require \"hirak/prestissimo:^0.3\"

Answer 1

To resolve this, you should open up a terminal window and type this command:

sudo chown -R user ~/.composer (with user being your current user, in your case, kramer65)

After you have ran this command, you should have permission to run your composer global require command.

You may also need to remove the .composer file from the current directory, to do this open up a terminal window and type this command:

sudo rm -rf .composer
