Installing the dev version lightening

[sinasalek]

The dev version of lightening support drupal 8.3 which i need for migration. How do i install it using composer?

[balsama]

composer require acquia/lightning:dev-8.x-2.x

Or wait until we tag 2.1.0 later today (5 April)

Didn't work, here is the error

acquia/lightning dev-8.x-2.x requires drupal/embed ^1.0 -> no matching package found.

BTW shouldn't it be used like this? also didn't work

composer create-project acquia/lightning-project:dev-8.x-2.x . --no-interaction

Sounds like you're missing the scaffold project which defines the D.O packagist. That's why composer couldn't find drupal/embed.

And no, lightning-project (the scaffold) doesn't have a 8.x-2.x branch so your second command should not work.

Were you able to get this working?
