How to use private composer package inside another private composer package?

I have 2 composer packages I created and I want to use the first package inside the second package, and I want to use the second package in my main app.

Now when I run composer update my main app can see the 2nd package, but 2nd package can't see the first package.

The error im getting is:

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

Problem 1

  • Installation request for mycompany/package1 dev-branch1 -> satisfiable by mycompany/package1[dev-branch1].
  • mycompany/package1 dev-branch1 requires mycompany/package2 dev-master -> no matching package found.

Potential causes:

Read https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md for further common problems.

But when I run composer install in the 2nd package there is no problem and it installs the 1st package to 2nd package.

So is there a way to install a package, which is dependent to another custom package?

If you add the 2nd package directly on the main project does it install? Composer cannot chain load dependencies on its own as described here.

https://getcomposer.org/doc/faqs/why-can%27t-composer-load-repositories-recursively.md

Like the documentation says, in case of private packages, you must use Satis or a private Packagist instance for this use case
