Please post the contents of your ~/.composer/composer.json file.

{
    "require": {
        "asgardcms/asgardcms-installer": "^0.6.0",
        "symfony/symfony": "^2.0",
        "laravel/valet": "^4.0"
    }
}

I wonder if its to so with symfony.

Thank you :)

[drbyte]

Yes. The error you mentioned suggests a symfony version issue.

[stevenhardy-digital]

Thank you! Yes it was an issue with symfony and the composer dependancy asgardcms. after removing and updating symfony, i have successfully installed laravel valet :) thanks for your help!
