incorrect composer invocation

[tblanchard]

Correct order of arguments for composer is:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel ./

[assertchris]

I created a project with the order I usually specify, just yesterday, with no issues. If it ain't broke... :)

I get this when I try it.

$>composer create-project laravel/laravel ./ —prefer-dist

[UnexpectedValueException]
Invalid version string "—prefer-dist"

create-project [-s|--stability="..."] [--prefer-source] [--prefer-dist] [--repository-url="..."] [--dev] [--no-dev] [--no-plugins] [--no-custom-installers] [--no-scripts] [--no-progress] [--keep-vcs] [--no-install] [package] [directory] [version]

$ composer create-project laravel/laravel ./ —-prefer-dist

[UnexpectedValueException]
Invalid version string "—-prefer-dist"

Looks broke to me. Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

Needs 2 dashes, not 1 em dash.

Try this: composer create-project laravel/laravel ./ --prefer-dist
