Answer 1

If you think the error is a false-positive and you are sure the fileinfo PHP extension is really both, installed and enabled, you can force the composer installation in two ways:

1. You can use the --ignore-platform-reqs option when calling composer install. It will ignore dependencies that start with ext-, meaning it will not check if they are resolvable. It will also not check the available PHP version.

2. You can simulate an environment to composer by adding a special platform configuration in your composer.json under the config key:

   {
      ... other composer settings ...
      "config": {
        "platform": {
           "ext-fileinfo": "1.0"
        }
      }
   }
