Laravel 4 Composer not installing Packages

Question

i want to make a webservice and i need to install a extension called JWT-Auth.

I never really used composer so i have no idea where the problem is.

composer.json -> require:

"require": {
    "laravel/framework": "4.2.*",
    "doctrine/dbal": "~2.4",
    "tymon/jwt-auth": "0.5.*",
    "illuminate/http": "5.0.*"
}

and the output of composer:

 $ sudo composer update
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Answer 1

Laravel 4.2 needs 0.4.* of the jwt-auth package. And you should'nt need to define illuminate/http, Laravel will do that for you.

Try this (not tested):

"require": {
    "laravel/framework": "4.2.*",
    "doctrine/dbal": "~2.4",
    "tymon/jwt-auth": "0.4.*"   
}
