Hi,

I am a drupal 8 noob. It has been a long time since I have been here (since version 5/6 days). I am completely new to composer and have run into an issue I am sure is an easy one to get over, but for some reason.. I haven't had luck.

Let me say up front that installing the lightning distribution presents no issues if I go the Tarball route. 100% success.

Ok, Composer. I have run the commands for composer to build lightning, and it does. I creates a project directory that contains a docroot directory. It is missing crucial other directories inside of it and leads me to believe that somehow I am missing a step in the process.

So far I have run:
1. composer create-project acquia/lightning-project MY_PROJECT
(no errors)
2. composer install
(no errors)

But the result is a docroot directory that is missing:
Vendor/
Themes/
composer.json
composer.lock
example.gitignore
a few standard txt docs

Which results in the blank presentation.

EDIT: This is currently being run on MAMP locally.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. So far google has been less that helpful

thanks
Josh

I've decided to use the tarball installation for the time being. I'll reapproach composer when I have more time.

thanks
