Loading composer repositories with package information

I always need to wait at "Loading composer repositories with package information" without knowing when will it finish. so if only it shows what it does, waiting would be a little bearable. Thank you

You can install Laravel using composer (old way) instead of new modern installer:

composer create-project laravel/laravel my-project

It will give you verbosity you need: it produces a lot of Installing..., Downloading... strings and even progress bars. If you need super-verbosity, use -vvv flag:

composer create-project laravel/laravel my-project -vvv

If you need any additional packages or starter kits that are installed via installer, you can install them by hand later (via composer too).

I checked and it turns out you can just add -vvv flag to your installer command and there will be very verbose output:

laravel new example-app -vvv

No need to switch to composer create-project ....
