Hi @hossammaghbcbe ,

Could you please confirm which magento version you are trying to install?

Also, refer below link for system requirements

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/commerce-operations/installation-guide/system-requirement...

Example: php version compatibility issues

Try composer install before setup:install command and check vendor folder exists with proper permission or not.

Problem Solved? Accept as Solution!

Hope it helps!

Thanks

- I am installing Magento2.

- For system requirements, 

• I had a problem with these two packages (ext-sodium and ext-xsl) while using the following command to download Magento. So I bypass the tow packages. Also, I use the sudo with the command due to an authentication issue.

Finally, could you please clarify this point? "Try composer install before setup:install command and check vendor folder exists with proper permission or not. "

Thank you for your time. appreciated

The command to download Magento.

sudo composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition /srv/http/magento2

Hi @hossammaghbcbe ,

ext-sodium and ext-xsl both are required extensions based on your php version and system requirements.

Using sudo with Composer is not recommended as a best practice.

Instead, ensure your local directory has the correct permissions. For example:

sudo chmod -R 777 /srv/http/magento2

Once permissions are set, you can safely run the Composer command without sudo:

composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition /srv/http/magento2

This approach helps avoid permission issues and potential security risks associated with running Composer as root.

Thanks @Ankit Jasani 

The problem has been resolved. It was a permissions issue.
