sudo composer install vs. composer install
Solution 1:
Delete your vendor directory and run composer install
again.
You're getting the permission denied error because the vendor/composer/installed.json
file was created by the root user when you ran sudo composer install
, so now when you run composer install
your user doesn't have permission to edit that file.
Update:
If you are working within a live document root (you shouldn't be - read up on atomic deployment) then you can try chown
on the vendor directory and its contents to avoid any downtime between the deletion and re-running composer install
:
$ sudo chown -R myuser: vendor/
Replace myuser
with your username.
