Cannot create cache directory .. or directory is not writable. Proceeding without cache in Laravel

Question

I created a new Laravel project. When I go to the terminal to install the dependecies composer displays the following warning:

Cannot create cache

Answer 1

When you installed composer pretty sure you used $ sudo command because of that the ~/.composer folder was created by the root.

Run this to fix the issue:

$ sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer
