Strange installation issues, possibly related to odd installation path?

[joho1968]

(Not sure if this has to do with me using ( and ) in paths or if it's something else.)

Ubuntu 20.04.LTS.

Issuing this: "php composer.phar create-project bolt/project Zap"

Getting this:

Installing bolt/project (2.2.7)

There's a notice: "Package webmozart/path-util is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use symfony/filesystem instead."

And then, after doing some init work, I get this:

Installing Bolt themes as hard copies.
