you like, in my case magecomp4
iv.
Add network.publish_host: localhost under path.logs
v.
Set discovery.seed_hosts = [] (empty array)
vi.
Set network.host: 127.0.0.1
vii.

incompatible with
d. To resolve this error use : sudo composer self-update 1.10.9

d. Use the access keys created from step 7, enter when promptede. Cut everything from project-community-edition folder to the main folder (in my
case it’s magento2)
f. Set permissions sudo chmod -R 777 ./
g. Create DB echo “CREATE DATABASE magento240” | mysql -u root -p
h. Use below command for installation, you may change it according to your setting:
