title: Composer create-project laravel memory error
body: <p>I've installed composer, downloaded laravel and now try to create a project:</p>
  
  <pre><code>composer create-project laravel/laravel test_laravel --prefer-dist
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the answer is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 67108864 bytes) in phar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Of course I googled it and the solution was to give it more memory through <code>php.ini</code>. I gave it 512M, 1G and even -1 and no way... Any suggestions?</p>
