Composer installing wrong laravel version

Question

i have been creating a few Laravel 5.1 and 5.2 projects. Now i wanted to try 5.3.

when installing a new project using

composer create-project laravel/laravel my-new-project

and the project was installed, i noticed this was still a Laravel 5.2 project structure.

How to fix this?

What version of PHP are you running?

Laravel53 uses php >5.6 Composer will fallback to Laravel52 incase you do not have the correct dependancies.

If this does not solve the problem, you can always run the command as such:

composer create-project laravel/laravel=5.3.0 my-new-project --prefer-dist

You can also mention the specific version you want by running the following

composer create-project laravel/laravel=5.3 your-project-name --prefer-dist
