Symfony error when trying to create a new project: Fatal error: Uncaught Symfony\Component\Dotenv\Exception\PathException: Unable to read .env

Whenever I try to create a new Symfony project using the following command:

composer create-project symfony/skeleton new_project

I'm getting these error messages in the console and I have no idea what causes it:

Executing script cache:clear [KO]
 [KO]

I'm not getting any errors when I try to create a demo project instead of a regular one (symfony new --demo new_project).

Does anyone know what's causing the error message when trying to create a new regular Symfony project? Any kind of help is appreciated.

I encountered the error in composer version 1. Fortunately, I was able to fix this issue by updating to the latest version of the composer.

sudo composer self-update --2

The only solution at the moment is to create the file .env manualy at the root of your project.
