if i bypass the composer issue with detecting tidy:

composer install --no-dev --ignore-platform-reqs

i still get a php error in dump.php

Hi @JoshuaJarman,
I wonder if the composer install command is maybe using a different php instance on your system.

Could you download the composer.phar directly and run if via php like so?:

curl https://getcomposer.org/download/1.10.9/composer.phar > composer.phar
php composer.phar install

@JoshuaJarman I ran into a non-related but similar problem with the PDO extension today as well. Try the following steps to solve the problem:

  1. Check which php.ini (configuration file) your PHP runtime is using
  2. In the php.ini file make sure tidy is uncommented
...
...
...
;extension=...
extension=tidy
;extension=...
...
...
...
  1. Run composer update

I was able to get it installed by using a local copy of composer.phar via @ssddanbrown suggestion.

Thanks to you both for the help!
