I ran into the same issue. You have to verify that the /srv/pim folder is empty completely, also without .xxx. files like .git. Otherwise, the system will not copy the project into this folder. Run the commands in the empty /srv/pim folder. Your user needs write permissions in this folder.

My clean installing : 1- Install yarn : https://linuxhint.com/install_yarn_ubuntu/

2- Install node : sudo apt install npm

3- mkdir srv/pim

4- chmod 777 srv

5- cd srv/pim

6- chmod 777 pim

7 - Install Docker : https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/ 8- Install docker compose : sudo apt install docker-compose

9 - Donwload Akeneo docker in /srv/pim : https://github.com/akeneo/pim-community-standard

10 - enable 8080 port : sudo ufw allow 8080/tcp

11 - show Akeneo in browser: http://ip-adress:8080/

Hope it'll be useful .

@Houda-Ahbella You'll need to provide more details for the steps you're taking to produce the error as there are many elements that could be responsible.

There is a chance that this issue is a duplicate of https://github.com/akeneo/pim-community-dev/issues/13432 so it could be worth reading this thread as well.

My personal experience was that you need to make sure the folder you are installing into is completely empty, meaning no hidden files (even the .git folder).

just had a similar issue on macOS

running

docker run -ti -u www-data --rm \
    -v $PWD:/Users/jusurb/Projects/pim -v ~/.composer:/var/www/.composer -w /Users/jusurb/Projects/pim \
    akeneo/pim-php-dev:8.1 php /usr/local/bin/composer create-project \
    akeneo/pim-community-standard /Users/jusurb/Projects/pim -vv

will produce

[InvalidArgumentException]
Project directory "/Users/jusurb/Projects/pim" is not empty.

but such folder doesn't exist at all

➜  Projects ls -ls pim
ls: pim: No such file or directory
➜  Projects ls -ls pim/
