Summary

Support for composer create-project laminas-api-tools/api-tools-skeleton using Composer 2. It currently fails during dependency installation with the error below.

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - laminas/laminas-component-installer 1.1.1 requires composer-plugin-api ^1.0 -> found composer-plugin-api[2.0.0] but it does not match the constraint.
    - laminas/laminas-component-installer[2.1.1, ..., 2.3.2] require php ^7.1 -> your php version (5.6.40) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - Root composer.json requires laminas/laminas-component-installer ^1.1.1 || ^2.1.1 -> satisfiable by laminas/laminas-component-installer[1.1.1, 2.1.1, ..., 2.3.2].

You are using Composer 2, which some of your plugins seem to be incompatible with. Make sure you update your plugins or report a plugin-issue to ask them to support Composer 2.

laminas-component-installer supports composer 2 but requires at least PHP 7.1. you are using 5.6, so just use a current php Version :-)

🤦‍♂️ Nice catch. I've been jumping back and forth between PHP versions due to maintaining a large legacy stack.
