Install of kylekatarnls/update-helper failed – PHP Versions

I’m new to laravel & homestead, im currently trying to create a new project using this command composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog "5.6.*" but i encountered this error

  - Removing kylekatarnls/update-helper (1.2.1)
    Install of kylekatarnls/update-helper failed


  [RuntimeException]
  Could not delete /home/vagrant/code/project2/vendor/kylekatarnls/update-helper/src:

when i tried to do so. I have tried solutions given by other post such as

  • composer global require kylekatarnls/update-helper (this just repeat the errors above)
  • composer install (this just repeat the errors above)
  • composer update --prefer-source (this would run, but it would cause another error reflectionParameters)
  • composer dump-autoload (same for this one as well)
  • composer install --no-plugins(this one leads to more error for me related to reflectionParameters errors, so i would like to avoid using that.)

Currenty using laravel 5.6.* and Php version is 7.1.3

    I think you are not using NFS. There is a known issue for the VirtualBox
    https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18776

    The issue still around for VirtualBox 6.1.18

    Using NFS basically resolve all the share folder performance issue and resolve all the weird "Could not delete xxx" issue

    Install the NFS plugin:

    vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfsd

    Update your Homestead.yaml

    ...

folders:
    - map: C:<your code folder>
      to: /home/vagrant/code
      type: "nfs"
...

    If you are using Windows, try this

    I WAS FACING THIS ISSUE

    Problem 1
    – kylekatarnls/update-helper is locked to version 1.1.1 and an update of this package was not requested.
    – kylekatarnls/update-helper 1.1.1 requires composer-plugin-api ^1.1.0 -> found composer-plugin-api[2.1.0] but it does not match the constraint.
    Problem 2
    – kylekatarnls/update-helper 1.1.1 requires composer-plugin-api ^1.1.0 -> found composer-plugin-api[2.1.0] but it does not match the constraint.
    – nesbot/carbon 1.39.0 requires kylekatarnls/update-helper ^1.1 -> satisfiable by kylekatarnls/update-helper[1.1.1].
    – nesbot/carbon is locked to version 1.39.0 and an update of this package was not requested.

    I searched for hours on google then what worked for me is the package was locked for composer version 1.^ and on my local I had 2.^ installed.

    I have down graded my composer by this
    command = composer self-update –1

    Hope it was helpful
