Answers.Text: Thanks, I thought I could use the [craft3 branch](https://github.com/boboldehampsink/import/tree/craft3), but looks like that's not going to work.

Answers.Text: Craft 3 alpha and beta releases had a couple of breaking changes so far, and it looks like that branch didn’t get updated for months.

  You are trying to install a Craft 2.x plugin, which you can see, among other things, by looking at its composer.json. Craft 3 plugins will always have a `"extra` property with a `"handle"` defined.
  
  ```
  "extra": {
      "handle": "plugin-handle",
  }
  
  ```
  
  The currently latest release of the Import plugin is v0.8.33, and is not compatible with Craft 3:  
  <https://github.com/boboldehampsink/import/blob/0.8.33/composer.json>
  
  Until the plugin store goes live, most plugin developers note their compatible plugins in this list:  
  <https://github.com/craftcms/plugins>
