requires ext-fileinfo. How do I add that into my composer.json file?

by

Nothing to do with your composer.json.

You need to install & enable FileInfo PHP extension, which is installed by default starting with PHP 5.3.0. Versions prior to 5.3+ may use the discontinued PECL extension.

To enable FileInfo extension, you need to edit your php.ini and change a single line.

  1. Locate the line:

    ;extension=php_fileinfo.dll

  2. Remove the starting comment:

    extension=php_fileinfo.dll

To find out where your php.ini is located, you can run the following command from a terminal:

$ php --ini

and search for “Loaded Configuration File“.

Please note that the PHP CLI can load a different php.ini file than the web, so don’t rely on the path provided in phpinfo(). Run the command specified above in a terminal to find out the file loaded by PHP CLI.
