Magento sample data issue

[alihalabyah]

I'm trying to install magento/sample-data:0.74.0-beta2 by adding it as required using the following command:

magento/sample-data:0.74.0-beta2

But it's showing the follwoing error:

./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for magento/sample-data 0.74.0-beta2 -> satisfiable by magento/sample-data[0.74.0-beta2].
    - magento/sample-data 0.74.0-beta2 requires magento/sample-data-fixtures 0.74.0-beta2 -> no matching package found.

Potential causes:
 - A typo in the package name
 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
   see <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion> for more details.

Read <http://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

While it's available here: http://packages.magento.com/#!/sample

Any thoughts?

Hi @alihalabyah, please follow the instructions - http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v1.0//install-gde/install/sample-data.html, do not forget to add "minimum-stability": "beta" into composer.json.

@maksek thank you for your help, the "minimum-stability": "beta" was the problem!
