Already installed composer to 'C:/xampp/htdocs/crud' with cmd. However trying to install laravel via the 'composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog' command does not download or install anything. The 'composer global require laravel/installer' command produces the same result.
PS: don't know if it wrecks anything but, I was having trouble running the composer command at first, kept saying there is no app to open '.phar' files. I found an answer here that asked me run .phar files with php.exe by default and thats what i did.
A picture to show what happens when I run the composer commands to install laravel...

I have a question related to composer and laravel. My question is whenever I install the fresh laravel app using command :
composer create-project laravel/laravel blog
Inside my C://xampp/htdocs/ directory and then change path to C://xampp/htdocs/blog/, here I am unable to run the composer command but I had already installed composer from its official website globally in C://xampp/htdocs/ directory. So is there any way to use composer command globally whenever I install fresh laravel app, so that I don't want to install composer in the laravel app directory everytime.
Now I guess they provide direct setting up global installation,
Check here
I did it like this a lot earlier,
Change to the path (or you can add that directory to your path later), and run the installer as mentioned on composer download site to download composer.phar.
Create a new composer.bat file alongside composer.phar.
Using cmd.exe:
run
echo #php "%~dp0composer.phar" %*>composer.bat
Then set it to path environment variable(see this)
Test with a new terminal:
composer -V
Will return
Composer version 1.10.6 2020-05-06 10:28:10
go to composer website and download the exe file, you should have it gloablly if you install it that way.
Good luck ^_^
I followed all the instruction by installing composer and then Laravel. Also I did everything what was shown in laracast series for installing Laravel and composer.
BUT I have some problems and I cannot solve them:
I don't have Vendor folder in my Laravel app folder
I cannot launch command 'composer artisan' as it says that
[Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\CommandNotFoundException]
Command "artisan" is not defined"
"php artisan" also doesn't work
All the answer in the web I have already tried to resolve my problems but nothing worked for me
Please, tell me, how can I install Laravel correctly and use it without errors
Run composer install or composer update. This will create the vendor folder and download all the dependent modules as mentioned in the composer.json
I want to add some more details which are asked but not clearly answered.
You did not install the composer dependencies. Try composer install.
It is not composer artisan. If you execute that command, you say hey composer! run your artisan command. And it says "Command "artisan" is not defined."
It is php artisan. But if you don't run composer install, php artisan will not work either. Because you are missing Symfony Console Component in your project (not the one used by composer) as well as a complete Laravel installation. Both will also be installed by the composer install command.
Well. I've solved my problem. As I mentioned before I had tried all the answer in the web but nothing had helped me. So then I just deleted my laravel project and ran this command
sudo apt-get upgrade
After some time packages were upgraded and I created new Laravel project. And Laravel started working perfectly! So in any incomprehensible situation do apt-get upgrade :))
I'm trying to install Laravel using Composer, but after running the following command
composer create-project laravel/laravel cmsLaravel 5.2
pointing to my c/xampp/htddocs directory, I get the error below:
C:\xampp\htdocs\laravelCMS\bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\laravelCMS\bootstrap\autoload.php on line 17
To install Laravel using composer, all you need to do is to run in your terminal is:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
Where: blog is the name of the folder containing your new Laravel instance.
To install Laravel directly within your chosen directory (not in a folder within it as demonstrated above), simply run the same command but this time without a folder name as in:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel
Remember to run the command within your desired directory for the project; in your case, for C:\xampp\htdocs\, then, run either the first or second command as above base on your needs.
This assumes you already have Composer properly installed as recommended on their website.
Before you try addressing your failed to open stream: error, do avoid having folder names with space(s) as in your command above (obviously not the source of the error).
Make sure you have the correct Server Requirements for Laravel
the failed to open stream: error usually occur when the OpenSSL PHP Extension not enabled.
PHP >= 5.6.4
OpenSSL PHP Extension
PDO PHP Extension
Mbstring PHP Extension
Tokenizer PHP Extension
XML PHP Extension
After enabling the required extension(s), do remember to restart your server, then run the following command:
composer update
Follow the steps below;
Download and install Composer.
Go inside the folder C:\xampp\htdocs>(if you are using xampp) or C:\wamp\www>(if you are using wamp) and open cmd/PoweShell & run the following commands:
composer global require "laravel/installer"
composer create-project laravel/laravel (after running this command a folder having name Laravel will be created there)
Now go inside Laravel folder and run php artisan serve command.
After executing the last cmd, it will show an URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000; access the URL in a browser, which should reflect the will see the default webpage of Laravel.
Download and install composer
Run composer global require "laravel/installer"
Open terminal inside C:\xampp\htdocs and run laravel new my_folder_name
You can just run
composer install
and it will process the required files to load the laravel in web browser
EDIT:
After seeing your comment, you should go to your laravel directory in your cmd.
cd C:\xampp\htdocs\laravelCMS
and run the command
composer install
Change your command to this:
composer create-project laravel/laravel cmsLaravel 5.2.*
This mean any sub version of laravel 5.2.
Check your index.php and Change the path as per your project directory
Register The Auto Loader
require __DIR__.'/cmsLaravel /vendor/autoload.php';
$app =require_once __DIR__.'/cmsLaravel /bootstrap/app.php';
composer create-project laravel/laravel 6.0
composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP
create-project is command to create a new laravel project
laravel/laravel is for the skeleton application you get when creating a new project. It provides a default structure that's recommended (you're not forced to use it). The repository contains default config files, controllers, routes, etc. As well as code responsible for bootstrapping the application.
Link Laravel/laravel
6.0 Version in laravel
just run your command line as admin
it worked for me
Please follow this step and try it
step 1
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
step 2
composer global require laravel/installer
laravel new example-app
step 3
cd example-app
php artisan serve
Else I will Recommend You To Go in to laravel offical page
Clik Here
Normally I do install Laravel 5.1 by following this command regarding to documentation:
composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist
It works fine.
But I read in the documentation under "Via Laravel Installer" also it is possible to install via Laravel Installer, which is much faster than installing via Composer:
laravel new blog
But to use this method I need to run following command once:
composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
When I do run it I get following errors many times
Deprecation Notice: Composer\Package\Version\VersionParser::parseLinks
is deprecated. Use \Composer\Package\Loader\ArrayLoader::parseLinks()
instead in
phar://C:/ProgramData/Composer/bin/composer.phar/src/Composer/Package/Version/VersionParser.php:226
after many line of same error ./composer.json has been updated appears and it continues with the same line of errors, it ends with following
Loading composer repositories with package information Updating
dependencies (including require-dev) Nothing to install or update
Generating autoload files
What is wrong with it? Any idea or solution.
My environment: Windows 10, GitBash and cmder console.
Update of composer, I did ran composer self-update also
Snapshot of console
EDIT:
Note, I can confirm after solving the issue that the installation via Laravel Installer method is faster than composer.
The Composer Assets Plugin you've installed locally is using a deprecated method of Composer. The plugin is already fixed, so run composer global update to get the latest versions with the bug fix. After it, you should be able to run the command succesfully.
If this doesn't work (as you might get the same error running the previous command), try removing the global vendor directory. When running any global Composer command, it outputs something like "Changed current directory to XXX". Remove the XXX/vendor directory and then try running the command.
In addition to #WouterJ answer.
Worst case if the steps provided by #WouterJ did not work, you could manage to uninstall and reinstall composer for windows.
When done, run composer global update to be sure to get latest updates, if there was.
Then run composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1" and it should works.
Remember to update your windows environment path C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin
I'm trying to install Laravel with composer on Windows 7 and am running into an error. This is the command I'm running:
composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
This is the error I get:
file_put_contents(C:\Users\myUser\AppData\Roaming\Composer/vendor/composer/installed.json): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
It's correct to say that the installed.json file does not exist, there's not even a composer folder inside the vendor folder. Not sure why that would be missing. I installed composer using the Windows installer.
Seems to be a composer related issue rather than laravel. I just tried installing yii and am getting a similar error running this:
composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-basic MyApp
For this one, I get this after it successfully creates the folder and seems to load most files:
file_put_contents(C:\wwwroot\MyApp/vendor/composer/installed.json): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Seems like the problem is that I never have a composer folder in my vendor folder.
UPDATE
I was able to get laravel to install globally by adding the COMPOSER_HOME environment variable. But I still run into a similar error when setting up a Laravel project after that
UPDATE 2
Some additional info, when I use the Windows Installer, composer gets installed in c:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin. If I set the COMPOSER_HOME environment variable to this, laravel can get installed globally. But trying to install a project using the "laravel new MyApp" throws the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or '{' or '$' in C:\wwwroot\MyApp\artisan on line 31
I suspect that's because I have PHP 5.4 and the latest version of laravel is 5.6 and above, but I want to install 5.0, which is 5.4 and above. I tried doing it using "composer create-project laravel/laravel MyApp 5.0 --prefer-dist" instead. I get the following error:
file_put_contents(c:\wwwroot\MyApp/vendor/composer/installed.json): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Seems there's just something weird going on with paths that I can't quite figure out.
UPDATE 3
I've now uninstalled composer and re-installed it manually per the instructions provided on the composer site. I'm now trying to create a project using the following command from c:\wwwroot:
composer create-project laravel/laravel c:\wwwroot\MyApp --prefer-dist
It does manage to install some stuff, but seems I get this error before any package it tries to install:
Installing laravel/laravel (v5.1.4)
Loading from cache
Failed to download laravel/laravel from dist: RecursiveDirectoryIterator::__construct(C:\wwwroot/vendor/composer/,C:\wwwroot/vendor/composer/): The system cannot find the path specified. (code: 3)
Again, seems like it can't create a directory for vendor/composer for some reason. I tried running the same command, but from inside an empty c:\wwroot\MyApp folder, same result except the path in the error changes accordingly.
I found the following: https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md#-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified-windows-
But I checked my registry and I have none of these entries. So still no clue.
It seems that your composer is not globally accessible. Try to add C:\Users{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin to your environment variable then restart your Shell or Command-Prompt so that updated Path variables is loaded. Now try to install laravel again.
Here is the detailed instruction:
Go to Control Panel > Systems ans Security > System > Advanced system settings then navigate to envirinment variables then scroll down and locate the PATH then add a semi colon (;) at the end of the PATH string. This means you are declaring a new variable. Then paste the C:\Users{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin after (;) you have added, restart the command prompt and try to install laravel again.
Uninstall composer and install it again, but this time do enable shell menu. Right click on the location (directory) where you want to create the project, select "use composer here", then "composer create-project laravel/laravel projectName --prefer-dist" should create your laravel project, default to latest version (5.1).
To specify your prefer version:
"composer create-project laravel/laravel 4.2 projectName --prefer-dist"
I will suggest you to install Homestead (http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/laravel-homestead-on-windows) and do all the heavylifting there.
You just need to do homestead ssh to actually connect to your machine and then perform all your operations.
Windows is pretty unpredictable in that kind of situations and in web development in general.
