When following the tutorial at https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/current/tutorials/getting-started.html (i.e. doctrine2/docs/en/tutorials/getting-started.rst), at the step vendor/bin/doctrine orm:schema-tool:create I'm getting this error:

$ vendor/bin/doctrine orm:schema-tool:update

Did you run the composer installation? What's your config file looking like?

I really followed the tutorial.

Did you run the composer installation?

Sure :-)

What's your config file looking like?

Just tried it, and could reproduce the problem. The issue is that the composer.json in that documentation should be pointing at doctrine/orm ^2.6.2: can you maybe send a patch?
