when i try to install laravel via composer and ssh i get a timout everytime on the same file

  [Composer\Downloader\TransportException]
  The "http://packagist.org/p/provider-2015-04$496debf12911ea00c6d11678b39f999293db633589cb5e09ae0aded30451a787.json

Try running the following command:

composer config --global repo.packagist composer https://packagist.org

I had a similar problem, discussed here, and the above worked for me.

Thanks, i'll try that out, next time!

At the end I found a better way to get my app on a shared server.

The problem was i had around 50.000 files to upload via ftp, and thats why i was trying to install laravel via ssh and composer.

But i remebered you can run unzip commands via ssh, so i zipped them to one file and ran the unzip command and got everything uploaded in less than 20 minutes.
