Outdated Questions
1

Ok Dmitry , so I’ve changed my repositories to “repositories”: {
“0”: {
“type”: “composer”,
“url”: “https://repo.magento.com/”
},{
“type”: “composer”,
“url”: “https://mage2.pro”
}
},

but I get an error in my editor , saying SyntaxError: “invalid property id”, should I take that “0” away ?

2

What exact instruction point are you talking about?

3

about the “0”: {
, should I add a “1”: { in front of {
“type”: “composer”,
“url”: “https://mage2.pro”
}

?

4

What exact file are you changing?

5

I am into composer.json

6

OK, now I understand, that you are changing some composer.json file, and you have a syntax error in it.
Publish your composer.json file before any changes.

The easiest solution for you is just to follow the Step 3 of the my installation instruction.
The instruction states:

Change the repositories section to the following:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "composer",
        "url": "https://repo.magento.com/"
    }
    ,{
        "type": "composer",
        "url": "https://mage2.pro"
    }
],

A more complex solution is to use the key-value notation:

"repositories": {
	"0": {
		"type": "composer",
		"url": "https://repo.magento.com/"
	},
	"1": {
		"type": "composer",
		"url": "https://mage2.pro"
	}
}
