Error installing sample data for magento v0.42.0-beta7 - sample data 0.42.0-beta6

[mahesh004]

I have successfully installed magento v0.42.0-beta7 without loading sample data during installation. After that I have added sample date in composer.json and updated it.

"magento/sample-data": "0.42.0-beta6",
"magento/sample-data-media": "~0.42.0-beta1"

Sample data files are created in \magento2\dev\tools\Magento\Tools\SampleData but got error.

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

Problem 1
- The requested package magento/sample-data could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.

Potential causes:

• A typo in the package name
• The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
  see https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion for more details.

I have added "minimum-stability": "dev", in composer.json but no use. I have attached the image for reference.

I have tried like beta7 also
"magento/sample-data": "0.42.0-beta7",
"magento/sample-data-media": "~0.42.0-beta1"

@mahesh004 Thank your for reporting the issue.

Could you please provide your composer.json content?

@mahesh004 Do you specified the repository http://packages.magento.com/ in your composer.json?

"repositories": [
{
"type": "composer",

}
]

@mahesh004

In the description above you described

Problem 1

• The requested package magento/sample-data could not be found in any version, there may be a
  typo in the package name.

But from the print screen image I can see the different error message about problems with packages:

• magento/framework
• magento/sample-data-media

Could you please clarify which exactly error do you have?

P.S. I have tried to run composer update using your version of composer.json but it works for me.
