Erro ao tentar criar o projeto

Olá, pessoal. Ao tentar executar o comando composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel controle-series 5.8.* aparece o seguinte erro:

D:\Alura>composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel controle-series 5.8.*
Creating a "laravel/laravel" project at "./controle-series"
You are running Composer with SSL/TLS protection disabled.
Warning: Accessing repo.packagist.org over http which is an insecure protocol.


  [InvalidArgumentException]
  Could not find package laravel/laravel with version 5.8.* in a version installable using your PHP version, PHP exte
  nsions and Composer version.

Anteriormente estava apresentando um erro no SSL/TLS, mas em um dos tópicos vi que havia uma opção de desabilitar ele, o que aparentemente funcionou, porém, não finaliza a instalação. Tentei também executar o código sem a versão, com o comando composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel controle-series no entanto, pediu um token para autenticação, que após fornecido, apresentou o seguinte erro:

D:\Alura>composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel controle-series
