Sample data installation no longer works

[Vinai]

The method of installing the sample data has changed. It no longer works as with Magento 1.
It first has to be added as a composer dependency, and after the package is installed an install script needs to be executed

composer config repositories.magento composer http://packages.magento.com
composer require magento/sample-data:0.42.0-beta6 magento/sample-data-media:0.42.0-beta1 --dev
php -f dev/tools/Magento/Tools/SampleData/install.php -- --admin_username=admin

More information:
http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v1.0/install-gde/install/sample-data.html

There is an issue in the Magento2 repository for this topic: magento/magento2#1216
We will check and try again after the issue is resolved there.
