Laravel Homestead new project error - homestead

Question

On my Win8 machine I installed Laravel Homestead box using git. (OracleVM+Vagrant).
Homestead.yaml
---
ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 1
provider: virtualbox
authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
keys:
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa
folders:
- map: ~/Code
to: /home/vagrant/Code
sites:
- map: newProject.local
to: /home/vagrant/Code/newProject/public
databases:
- homestead
I start the VM using:
cd Homestead
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
And everything works.
If I understand correctly, I still need to create a newProject in my Code/ folder.
cd Code
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel newProject
This would work if I where on a lamp server, but instead I get the following error:
You are running composer with xdebug enabled. This has a major impact on runtime performance. See https://getcomposer.org/xdebug

Any ideas why would that happen?
I tried to cp a working project and still get the required error.
I found similar errors that had something to do with missing dependencies, but shouldn't Homestead deal with that by himself?

Looks like this was a composer problem. I just tried again and it works. More about it on Laravel News: https://laravel-news.com/2016/03/may-need-update-composer-json-file/
