Issue description

I am trying to set up a new sideproject using the following command from the WinterCMS website:

This works untill the command runs php artisan winter:install
There is no option to select a database type and errors will be spammed untill it crashes.

Do you have SQLite support on your environment?

What OS are you using?

What OS are you using?

Windows

I don't think so
(But I have no idea. Don't find anything about "Hosting provider + SQLite" when I quickly google it)

You're paying for a remote server that's running Windows? Windows is really only supported for local development, running it as a production server for a PHP application is a bit wild...

@AIC-BV I had the same problem with Windows Os.
WinterCMS is installed without any user interaction.
The result is an installation with default values and no idea of the password given to the site administrator.

I'm always forced to run a second installation with the --force option (php artisan winter:install --force).

It seems that composer on Windows can't run interactive commands.

So what have been put in place to simplify WinterCMS installation for Linux and Mac Os users, complicates it for the minority of Windows users.

Oh no the remote server is Linux
But my device is Windows and I can't set it up using composer create-project wintercms/winter my-project

You are right, manually doing the php artisan winter:install does work.
I don't need the --force flag because the automatic install doesn't do anything anyways it just crashes instantly
