Cannot get Grav to install

gamahachaa

Hi there,

Laragon seems to be a pretty cool tool.

Though i installed it easily,
i cannot manage to get Grav (the best flat file CMS) to be installed flawlessly.
Following https://learn.getgrav.org/16/basics/installation (using either composer or git) I get an endless stack of error ("Class not found" .... "Unkown character ' '" etc...). I have installed Grav on several dev platforms (XAMPP, WAMP, easyphp ) or prod (Centos, Debian) without facing any single issue.

Has anybody got it working ?
Any lead / help appreciated.

Cheers
Bruno.

@gamahachaa : Don't use composer instruction on that link because it doesn't help.
Just download the .zip package and extract to your document root.

@leokhoa thanks for the swift reply.
the exact same errors pop installing the zip package

Checking both symfony and grav requirements seems that all should be with php 7+
https://symfony.com/doc/4.2/reference/requirements.html
https://learn.getgrav.org/16/basics/requirements#php-requirements

All are in the enabled according to laragon's info.

Any idea ?
