Requiring monolog - hitting a dead end.

I am using my Mac rather than Workspaces as I'd like to approach this course like a real project. When I come to typing 'composer require', then 'monolog', after pressing '0' and leaving blank the next option for the latest version, I get the following error:

[Composer\Downloader\TransportException] The "http://packagist.org/p/provider-2013%243f02e3a881cf04e4e754694569f2931 b8dd0a97889bc0091f4688151baf055b0.json" file could not be downloaded (HTTP/ 1.1 404 Not Found)

Does anyone know how I can beyond this? I have tried packages for a version to see if I am doing something wrong.

Google doesn't really help.

I then decided to just use Workspaces but halfway through the course, Workspaces has just ground to a halt, so I need to give up on that.

Please help!!

I think I just answered my own question - I did sudo composer require - and it worked . . .

But I think I have been told using sudo composer is not good practice. . . .
