don’t worry! This guide will help you understand the issue and provide a clear solution to get you back on track.

Understanding the Issue

The permission denied error typically arises when Composer does not have the appropriate access rights to certain directories, particularly the .composer cache directory. This can happen for various reasons, including:

Running Composer as a different user than the one who owns the .composer directory.

Changes in directory permissions that prevent Composer from writing to the cache.

Steps to Fix the Composer Install Error

Step 1: Change Ownership of the .composer Directory

The first step in resolving this issue is to ensure that your user account has full ownership of the .composer directory. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal, replacing user-name with your actual system username:
