Composer error: Command "require" failed. You must be using the interactive console to authenticate
When working with composer in a Magento environment, you might encounter the following error:
This error typically occurs when composer is unable to locate the PHP version with which it can work. The located version can be either not supported or not found at all.
To resolve this issue and help composer find the PHP version that is being used by Magento, it is required to set an absolute path to the PHP executable file when running Composer commands. This ensures that composer uses the correct PHP version. For example:
/usr/bin/local/php74 composer require amasty/module-name
If you're unsure of your PHP path, you can use the command below to find it:
whereis php
The output will be similar to this:
Here are some common paths where the PHP executable might be located, but note that these can vary from server to server:
/opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php
/opt/php/php-7.0/bin/php
/usr/local/php70/bin/php-cliRelated Articles
