Hello @scotchegg thanks for raising the issue.

Please make sure you have followed the installation instructions either by running the command php artisan backpack:require:pro or manually.

In any case the problem seems to be with the repository, it shouldn't be trying the github repository (as you don't have access), but our own repository (where you have access).

Check if your composer.json have the following, if not please add it and try again composer require backpack/pro

"repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://repo.backpackforlaravel.com/"
        }
    ],

Also make sure you already set the backpack auth user/token as described in docs. composer config http-basic.backpackforlaravel.com [your-token-username] [your-token-password]

Let me know if you have any issues.

Hey @scotchegg ,

I see you haven't answered yet, so I assume you fixed the problem.
Let us know if you still have it and we'll reopen.

Cheers!

I am still getting following error. I followed all the instructions but still facing the issue.

In Git.php line 471:

Failed to execute git clone --mirror -- https://ghp...AXf:[email protected]/Laravel-Backpack/PRO.git C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Composer/vcs/git-github.com-Laravel-Backpack-PRO.git/

Cloning into bare repository 'C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/Composer/vcs/git-github.com-Laravel-Backpack-PRO.git'...
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/PRO.git/' not found

Kindly let me know what is the issue?

Hi @hirenvjoshi ,

Sounds like you are trying to download PRO from source (from our Github). You cannot do that, you don't have access to that. What you have access to is our repository - repo.backpackforlaravel.com. That's where Git should try to download from.

Please check if you are doing prefer-source anywhere in your GIT. Either in the command you run manually, or in your composer.json. To clarify, you shouldn't do prefer-source, you should do prefer-dist. You don't have access to the PRO source.

If you still can't find the culprit please take a screenshot of your entire terminal when you run this, with the command you ran and your entire error stack - that might show us more information about the problem.

Cheers!

Kindly find attached the error I am getting even after using perfer-dist.

[hirenvjoshi]

Here is my composer.josn file:

I have also added credentials and token in auth.js

I see you're getting a 402 error before that - Could not be downloaded (HTTP/2 402).

402 error means "payment required" so most likely what happened is that you do not have access to the latest updates. When that happens, and you try to install: our system sends you an email detailing that you should do composer require backpack/pro:"1.x.y" (exactly the latest version you have access to) or to buy backpack/pro again to get 12 more months of updates.

Please check your email, you should have an email from our system with the exact last version you have access to, and the code you should run. You can also look inside your account, and in your Tokens page you can see when your token access has expired.

To be clear, you DO still have access to the version you purchased, and 12 months of updates and upgrades after that. You just don't have access to updates after that point, unless you purchase backpack/pro again.

Hope it helps.
Cheers!

I am not getting the exact version information from my token page. Here is the screen shot of token page.

Even after trying composer require backpack/pro:"^1.0" I am getting same error.

I am trying to install it on my local system running on windows.

Hi @hirenvjoshi ,

I've just added a new Tab there, "Packages", which will show you the last version you have access to. It should look like this if you click refresh:

(this isn't your version, it's a screenshot from a dummy account. please hit refresh in your Tokens page)

Hope it helps!
