I find a way: 1: composer config repositories.magento composer https://repo.magento.com/packages.json 2: Update composer.json, change the minimum-stability to beta 3: composer update ( Need to input your mage market username and password) 4: magento sampledata:deploy 5: magento setup:upgrade

It works for me.

Still getting in 2.2.3

It works following the steps of @JustinWang24 but you have to skip the step of editing the composer.json (beta, now isn’t necesary), it would be like that:

1: composer config repositories.magento composer https://repo.magento.com/packages.json 2: composer update ( Need to input your mage market username and password) 3: magento sampledata:deploy 4: magento setup:upgrade

This issue is still replicable on 2.1.8

Hi @veloraven . Yes, the issue is still replicable. Magento repository has to be added by hand for sample data deploying (by sampledata:deploy command).
