Actually composer nowadays seems to work without the zip command line command  so  installing php-zip should be enough --- BUT it would display a warning      As there is no  unzip  command installed zip files are being unpacked using the    PHP zip extension    This may cause invalid reports of corrupted archives  Installing  unzip  may   remediate them    See also Is there a problem with using php-zip  composer warns about it

Not to belabor the point  but if you are working in a Dockerfile  you would solve this particular issue with Composer by installing the unzip utility   Below is an example using the official PHP image to install unzip and the zip PHP extension for good measure   FROM php 7 4-apache    Install Composer COPY --from composer  usr bin composer  usr bin composer    Install unzip utility and libs needed by zip PHP extension  RUN apt-get update  amp  amp  apt-get install -y       zlib1g-dev       libzip-dev       unzip RUN docker-php-ext-install zip   This is a helpful GitHub issue where the above is lovingly lifted from
