HELP! I'm trying to install composer.json file...

{ "name": "monolog/monolog", "require-dev": { "monolog/monolog": "^1.16" }, "license": "proprietary", "authors": [ { "name": "Ken Chung", "email": "kendrickchung9001@gmail.com" } ], "require": {} // I cant fill in this part, CMD wont work!! }

This is what I have on my composer.json file so far, the problem is that I can't use "composer require" in the cmd. When I tried to fill it in it said...

"The requested package monolog/monolog No version set <parsed as 1.0.0> could not be found.

Potential causes:

  • A type in the package name
  • The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to the minimum-stability setting.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content."

It's so hard for windows, I don't know how to install anything. Help!

It works when I make "composer init" and "composer require" into 2 separate files. Does it work the same way if i just copy and paste all its contents in 1 file?
