无法通过composer安装Azure SDK for PHP

Question

I am trying to install the Azure SDK for PHP on an Azure Website using the composer method outlines in http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/php-download-sdk/, but the composer installation has failed every time when it gets to "- Installing microsoft/windowsazure (dev-master 97e77ce)".

This is what happens every time:

Loading composer repositories with package information
Initializing PEAR repository http://pear.php.net
Installing dependencies (including require-dev)
- Installing microsoft/windowsazure (dev-master 97e77ce)
Cloning 97e77ce744ecc2d3d9584b4df6982dc836489faf

[packagesN] 

My composer.json file:

{
"require": {
    "microsoft/windowsazure": "*"
},          
"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "pear",
        "url": "http://pear.php.net"
    }
],
"minimum-stability": "dev"
}

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Managed to fix it.
Method:

First installed the dependencies with this composer.json:

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "pear",
            "url": "http://pear.php.net"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "pear-pear.php.net/mail_mime" : "*",
        "pear-pear.php.net/http_request2" : "*",
        "pear-pear.php.net/mail_mimedecode" : "*"
    }
}

Then modified the composer.json to:

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "pear",
            "url": "http://pear.php.net"
        },
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-php"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "pear-pear.php.net/mail_mime" : "*",
        "pear-pear.php.net/http_request2" : "*",
        "pear-pear.php.net/mail_mimedecode" : "*",
        "microsoft/windowsazure" : "0.4.0"
    }
}

And ran composer update.
It now works.
