{
  "config": {
    "github-protocols": [
      "https"
    ]
  },
  "repositories": {
    "packagist.org": {

  "description": "The Laravel Framework.",
  "keywords": [
    "framework",
    "laravel"
  ],
  "license": "MIT",
  "type": "project",
  "require": {
    "php": ">=5.5.9",
    "laravel/framework": "5.2.*"
  },
  "config": {
    "preferred-install": "dist"
  },
  "repositories": {
