Today Can Install MyBB 1.9 Development

Note: for that installation you must have performace you server! for example:
1. PHP version 7.0 or newer

Personal Notes:
for many people maybe the SSH and the Composer and the edit .ini setting to be enabled the allow_url_fopen must be a problem. 
well, it's just my opinion!

Question About Composer:
1. When install mybb 1.9, it was Not enabled the allow_url_fope.
2. setting the correct to enable to allow_url_fope via MultiPHP INI Editor
3. Try to Install Again the MyBB 1.9 via Composer install but display error of composer.lock, not remember the message, its like: 
Warning: The lock file is not up to date with the latest changes in composer.json. You may be getting outdated dependencies. Run update to update them

4. try composer update but cannot, maybe bacuase the composer check that it is already installed... and ¿how can update that files? for example:
