Composer can't install

I am writing a php library and i published it on packagist but am unable to download it using composer

composer require merajsiddiqui/ibm-watson

But it throws error

  [InvalidArgumentException]                                                   
  Could not find package merajsiddiqui/ibm-watson at any version for your min  
  imum-stability (stable). Check the package spelling or your minimum-stabili  
  ty

Here is my repository: https://github.com/merajsiddiqui/ibm-watson

I would be thankful if you can guide me to successfully publishing so any one can download this library.

This is because your package is still in "dev" mode.

Add a tag to your repository, publish the tagged (versioned) repo.

Or add this to your composer.json:

"minimum-stability": "dev"

for example:

# composer.json
{
    "name": "ProjectUsingMyIBMWatsonPackage",
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

then run:

 $ composer require merajsiddiqui/ibm-watson
 Using version dev-master for merajsiddiqui/ibm-watson 
 (...)

Add "minimum-stability": "dev" in your composer json file or release version of your library.

minimum-stability: stable means that development versions of the library cannot be installed - that's the default minimum-stability setting. And for good reasons - a "dev" version changes constantly, and is thus unreliable.

You need to release an actual (non-RC, non-alpha, non-beta) version of your library for it to be considered "stable".

With Git, that means using git tag.

Go to:

https://packagist.org/

and create a package from your repo. Then it's available. Otherwise you have to add your repo in your composer configuration manually.

https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md

The other problem is that your package is not marked es "stable" then your can't add them when your minimum stability is stable. So go to your composer.json and set them to stable.
