I am hitting problems with composer installation of Magento2 on CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core), Composer version 1.8.5 2019-04-09 17:46:47.
I am running the command as the magento user, which has full permissions over /var/www/html/magento
But when I run
composer create-project --repository=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition ./
The command gets a quite long way through the process, as far as...
Installing magento/magento2-base (2.3.1): Downloading (100%)
...then fails with a runtime exception
[RuntimeException]
/var/www/html/magento/vendor/composer/34026f14 does not exist and could not be created.
I deleted all the directories, recreated them and tried again and got very similar result:
[RuntimeException]
/var/www/html/magento/vendor/composer/34026f14 does not exist and could not be created.
At this point the directory structure looks like this:
bash-4.2$ ls -al
total 12
drwxr-xr-x. 4 magento nginx 73 May 2 12:30 .
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 21 May 2 12:26 ..
-rw-rw-rw-. 1 magento nginx 2257 Mar 15 05:12 composer.json
-rw-rw-rw-. 1 magento nginx 1395 Mar 15 05:12 .gitignore
drwxr-xr-x. 7 magento nginx 191 May 2 12:28 update
drwxr-xr-x. 44 magento nginx 4096 May 2 12:36 vendor
Any ideas what is going wrong please?
