chmod(): Operation not permitted error while Magento2 extension installation using composer

I installed magento 2.3 in localhost (Ubuntu 19.04). and changed the ownership & permissions of install directory using the command

 sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/magentoProject
 sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/magentoProject

and i included user to www-data group.

I installed composer globally. And whenever i run the composer command inside my project directory am getting the error as below.

enter image description here

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    As you’ve stated in your question you have …

    • changed the owner and group to www-data for your project
    • added your user midhun to the www-data group
    • gave the project-directory group-write permissions chmod 775

    … but you’re wondering why those permissions aren’t granted.

    Your new group membership on ubuntu isn’t applied until you log out and log back in. Therefore you’re effectively not yet a member of the www-data group!

    Another option is to use su to switch into a subshell with your user like this:

    su -m -l - "$(whoami)"

    This will apply the new group ownership right away.
