Installing 2.4.0 Open Source download URL

[tommygunner]

I am working on installing Magento 2.4.0 Open Source version.  I have the prerequisites installed and am at:

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

This installs the 2.3.X version which I don't want so have tried the following:

composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition=2.4.0 magento

I am getting the following message back:  [InvalidArgumentException]
Could not find package magento/project-community-edition with version 2.4.0

Am I doing this wrong or is this not available yet? If not, is there a way of installing the development version using a similar method?

Hi @tommygunner 

For install Magento 2 community using composer, you should refer below link:

As you are trying to install Magento 2 by using below command :

composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition=2.4.0 magento

which is wrong .

What is the reference url that I should use for version 2.4.0? The link you
provided does not specify this.

Hi @tommygunner 

Magento has not officially launched Magento 2.4.0 version to install(it says on official documentation Click here of beta release but it didn't work on my side), the latest version is 2.3.5 .

you check the below reference to  see the available Magento versions :

But Magento 2.4.0 version you can clone it from GitHub (It will have a different directory structure as it is not released officially):
