Does this answer your question? Composer says Git not found – Lattice

Answer 1

You should use --prefer-dist for installation, Try:

composer install --prefer-dist

Alternatively you can try:

apt-get install git
composer install --prefer-dist

And then:

composer require bonecms/laravel-captcha

Editing the php.ini and looking for the ;extension=zip to change it with extension=zip. Upon removing the semi-colon (;), my problem was solved.

Answer 3

If you have a similar error like:

In GitDownloader.php line 82:
                                                            
  git was not found in your PATH, skipping source download

Locate your php.ini configuration file.

For example C:\xampp\php look for the zip extension line and uncomment it (remove the semi-colon) behind it. It looks like extension=zip. That's all

One fix for me, just by installing the zip/unzip packages:

apt-get install zip unzip

That worked!
