Trying to download the migration tool and the above is the exception that I am receiving.

Assistance is much appreciated.

Hi @Texasbull

have you try another option - to install this migration tool via github ?

composer config repositories.data-migration-tool git https://github.com/magento/data-migration-tool

composer require magento/data-migration-tool:<version>

Refer this link for more details -  https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/migration/migration-tool-install.html

Same error, unfortunately. is there a special way that I need to call the function I have tried with php and with php-cli. the exception is directly as you have it.

Further, I can see that composer.json is in the current directory, I am not sure why it is stating the contrary!

You need to install first composer in your system,

run below command from magento root,

composer install

I have multiple php versions on my server for different domains. I have the project domain set to php 7.1 but it keeps picking up the 5.6.36 that is active on the other domains.

[~/public_html/store224]# php-cli /usr/local/bin/composer install

  Problem 1
    - magento/framework 101.0.4 requires php 7.0.2|7.0.4|~7.0.6|~7.1.0 -> your PHP version (5.6.36) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - magento/framework 101.0.4 requires php 7.0.2|7.0.4|~7.0.6|~7.1.0 -> your PHP version (5.6.36) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - Installation request for magento/framework 101.0.4 -> satisfiable by magento/framework[101.0.4].
