I can't install this components via composer

[Deleted user]

I got this following error message when I tried to install it via composer

[InvalidArgumentException]
Could not find package yii.bat at any version for your minimum-stability (stable). Check the package spelling or your minimum-stability

How do I suppose to install it ?

I can not reproduce this. Do you maybe have some special global composer config in your ~/.composer/composer.conf?

You should actually also first install a yii2 application and then require our package from there. But I've also tried with an empty directory and it works (even if it doesn't make much sense).

$ composer require codemix/yii2-excelexport *

If anyone else still gets the same problem try running:

composer require codemix/yii2-excelexport --dev

This worked for me.
