Hello @ Sopeaceman,

First try executing the command using sudo:

sudo composer create-project laravel/laravel mydir

If it doesn't work try to follow this:

For security reasons, lets keep root as the owner and just allow ourselves to read, write, and execute within the area which we will be working in.

1. Change directories

   cd /var/www/

2. Change group ownership

   sudo chown -Rv root:$USER .

3. Add priviledges to our group

   sudo chmod -Rv g+rw .

4. For the grand finale, go ahead and create your new laravel project

   composer create-project laravel/laravelprojectName--prefer-dist

Hope it helps!!

ThanK you!!
