Laravel installer throws error when creating new project

I am trying to create new Laravel application.

I have installed XAMPP and Composer. With Composer ( composer global require laravel/installer ) I have installed Laravel.

But when I try to use laravel new firstProject command to create new command the instalation throws two errors.

I am using Windows 10 if that helps.

 [RuntimeException]

  [ErrorException]
  ZipArchive::extractTo(C:UsersUser1DesktopPHP/vendor/composer/374ddf59/laravel-laravel-8e55104public/robots.txt
  ): Failed to open stream: Permission denied

I have tried:

Reinstalling and updating composer
Reinstalling and updating Laravel
Changing folder where I want to create my project
Using the composer create-project laravel/laravel blog command to create new project through composer still the same errors as above

Answer

Read with understanding:

Failed to open stream: Permission denied.

This means that your command line have no access to read or write in current directory. You have to change directory permissions and it should work.

change permissions on windows

change permissions on mac
