Answer 1

Create auth.json file in your root directory with your public and private key with below code.

 {
 "http-basic": {
 "repo.magento.com": {
 "username": "sdfdsfdsfdsfdsfdsfsdfdsfsdfdsfsd",
 "password": "sdfdsfdsfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfd"
 }
 }
}

Answer 2

To install Magento 2 using the command line, you need to configure the public and private keys in Composer. These keys are required to authenticate with Magento's repository.

Here’s the command to set the private and public key in Composer:

composer config --global http-basic.repo.magento.com <public_key> <private_key>

Replace:

• <public_key>: Your Magento Marketplace public key.
• <private_key>: Your Magento Marketplace private key.

Example:

If your public key is abc123 and your private key is xyz789, the command would look like this:

composer config --global http-basic.repo.magento.com abc123 xyz789

Once the keys are set, you can proceed with installing Magento 2 using Composer. Let me know if you'd like detailed installation steps!

• zus: I did same, but not working.
• Kishan Savaliya: @zus You're still getting the same error?
• Kishan Savaliya: Try to run composer clear-cache command once and after that try to run above config command and next magento installation command, make sure you remove magento2 directory before running commands again.

Answer 3

Make sure your internet connection is stable. Verify that the curl library is enabled in your XAMPP setup and ensure all other libraries required for Magento 2 are properly configured. Additionally, check your Composer version for compatibility.

If the problem continues, you may try using WAMP software as an alternative.

Answer 4

We shouldn't install Magento on the Windows hosting machine. I encourage you to use Docker and Warden tool to setup your Magento project.

In your case, you can add the verbose mode -vvv to see more details.

composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition=2.4.7 mage247test -vvv

• zus: I am getting following error once i run the command, [Composer\Downloader\TransportException] curl error 60 while downloading repo.magento.com/packages.json: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
• zus: If i run composer create-project --repository-url=repo.magento.com magento/project-community-edition=2.4.7 mage247test -vvv , I am getting an error, any idea about this error, i.sstatic.net/Cbocq7Pr.png

On Windows operating systems, the problem might be caused by a DNS issue. Try flushing the DNS cache by running the following command: ipconfig /flushdns.
