Error while running app:install command.

I get this error while running the app:install command.

Installing the app

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]
syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ';' or '{'

Hard to tell where the problem is. Help?

I made a new installation downloading the master... I works fine.

The other one was via composer, which seems outdated.

Thanks @ivanjpolanco, I am going to check this as 3.0.1 is master and should not have any issues, by any chance did you see what version it downloaded?

It requires PHP 7, are you using php 5.6?

Have not been able to reproduce this issue in PHP 7+ if your using php 5.6 it won't work. A constraint for it has been added in composer.json

Thanks!
