While both answers offer a suitable roundabout solution, neither of then solves the actual problem.

I've never had this issue, but first thing that comes to mind is an unstable internet connection. The loading needs to access the remote repos for all dependencies.

Unless you've installed a laravel project before, the projects are loaded locally and maybe there is a permission or disk space error.

I'd just try it again. I've noticed random timeouts with packagist the last few days.
