I did some more digging into this issue and found out why it’s not installing for me. My root composer.json does not have a version number in it. The command sampledata:deploy is checking if there is a version number present in the root composer.json file. When a version number is not found / present it will throw the error shown in this issue. This happens on the following line in the code: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.3-develop/app/code/Magento/SampleData/Console/Command/SampleDataDeployCommand.php#L87
Please note that according to the Composer documentation, the version number is not required and should be omitted. More information here: https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#version The documentation also states: Specifying the version yourself will most likely end up creating problems at some point due to human error.
So a better solution is the check if the file /app/code/Magento/SampleData/composer.json file exists in order to determine if the installation is installed with composer or cloned from Github.
