Composer create-project is not working even though latest release is available on packagist, but composer install works for same project

Question

UPDATED: It's working on Ubuntu but not on Windows, is there installation problem with Composer ?

Command: php composer.phar create-project chetan85/yii2-app-advanced-for-shared-hosting test_shared 2.0.11.2

Error:

Same is happening with yii2-advanced app installation:

BUT: all the update and install command are working fine. If we downdload .zip file from: https://github.com/chetan85/yii2-app-advanced-for-shared-hosting/releases/tag/2.0.11.2

and do php ../composer.phar install It works perfectly fine.

I recommend you'd look here: http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/392/creating-yii-applications-with-composer/ — King Reload, May 08 '17 at 09:33
Your second error is not the same. That's when you try to install two incompatible libraries, ie maybe they both depend on a different version of each library. Try deleting the global composer.lock and updating your libs. — delboy1978uk, May 08 '17 at 19:08
Second error is, I tried to install the FXP plugin, it's not working either. But if I download the package and then do "composer install", everything works fine. Same happens for Yii2 as well. — Chetan Sharma, May 15 '17 at 07:52
Guys, I have tried this on Ubuntu, its working fine there, Only problem is with windows. I'm not able to install YII2 as well. — Chetan Sharma, May 22 '17 at 05:38

@All, The problem here was command i.e Old command

php composer.phar create-project chetan85/yii2-app-advanced-for-shared-hosting test_shared 2.0.11.2

New Command

./composer.phar create-project chetan85/yii2-app-advanced-for-shared-hosting test_shared 2.0.11.2

We SHOULD NOT be using PHP in command i.e

~~php~~ composer.phar create-project chetan85/yii2-app-advanced-for-shared-hosting test_shared 2.0.11.2

Then everything works fine.
