There is no path to install Console.

[liquidcms]

After hours at this and dozens of posts from people complaining about the same issues; i have to assume there is no way to get composer to install console.

• i think i had/have console launcher installed but no documentation (that works reliably) on how to remove it. In the end i found drupal was pointing to /usr/local/bin (Bash shell in Windows 7) - so i simply deleted it.
• i have a druapl setup installed via a composer commerce install - which puts docroot in web subfolder beside top folder's composer.json and vendor folders. I have deleted all the composer files and vendor folder above docroot in case that was causing the issues.

After numerous combination and dozens of composer removes and requires and still at the spot i was when i started:

[ERROR] Class Drupal\Core\DrupalKernel does not exist.

With Drupal 8 development becoming so complex; it is hard to imagine working without Drush (also a nightmare to install; but sorted that one out) or Console. Would pay money to anyone able to document a working install process for Console.
