How to install package in laravel on live server, whenever I run "command composer require monolog/monolog". It gives error Could not open input file: /home/root/composer.phar
First of all, you should not run composer require on live server. You should only run composer install so you should require it locally, test if everything is working fine and then on live server just install library that is tested in your application.
About error:
Could not open input file: /home/root/composer.phar
make sure this file really exists (if not you can download it from Composer site) and make sure it has correct permissions (it should have execute permission) - use chmod +x composer.phar to make it executable
Please try like this.
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
$ php composer.phar update monolog/monolog
You can install package without any problem.

I have installed Composer as per the instructions command not found
After installing I get the prompt that Composer is successfully installed but when I go to check the version it gives me error "Composer: Command Not Found"
I have been looking how to fix this issue and I had to read and understand little bit and the environment variables on MAC.
I understand the issue looks simple but it will get over complicated if you didn't understand how to install composer probably.
Solution 1
I found this solution here: https://duvien.com/blog/installing-composer-mac-osx
Open a terminal and navigate to your user directory, ie cd /User//
Run this command shown below to download Composer. This will create a Phar (PHP Archive) file called composer.phar:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Now we move composer.phar file to a directory
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/
We want to run Composer with having to be root al the time, so we need to change the permissions:
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/composer.phar
Next, we need to let Bash know where to execute Composer:
nano ~/.bash_profile
Add this line below to bash_profile and save
alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar"
and then run this command:
source ~/.bash_profile
Finally, run:
composer --version
Solution 2:
I understand that the first command you will find online when you try to google this issue would be
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
But actually this is the main terminal installation but sometimes I wanted to manually install the composer, so this 2nd solution about manually installing the composer in specific directory
First of all you need to understand where are you now on the terminal
use
pwd
and then install composer manually using the following commands
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') ==='baf1608c33254d00611ac1705c1d9958c817a1a33bce370c0595974b342601bd80b92a3f46067da89e3b06bff421f182') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt';
unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
to use it on that case you will read on the terminal to use this composer installation use
Use it: php composer.phar
so just write
php composer.phar
and it should be working.... one more thing, during this installation you can install the composer to specific directory / project folder... in that case you can use a flag with command No.4 to tell the terminal to install the composer in specific directory...this flag is --install-dir=your-directory-path
and you will the terminal this time after installing composer asking you to use the following path to call the composer
Use it: php /Users/muatafa/composer.phar
if you want to read more about this issue, I think you must read the composer documentation how to install it>>> https://getcomposer.org/download/
that's how I solved my current issue... if you still have any issues comment on this replay & Hopefully we can figure it out!
I had the same problem. "composer require something" works if installed in global and not locally.
If you install composer locally you'll then install dependencies using "php composer.phar require nameofyoudependency"
To install globally open a terminal to install as mentionned on the composer website. Then run "sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer"
Now you can use "composer" directly to install dependencies like => "composer require something/sdk"
the composer you installed is still named /usr/local/bin/composer.phar - look in the second yellow/brownish line in your output. Just rename it to just composer
Your composer command is not set to path, use
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/
I had the same issue, After installing composer using the command line on their website. I forgot to put composer.phar into a directory on my PATH, so it can simply be called from any directory (Global install). and then I ran this command "sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer" and it was resolved
I figured out. in place of "composer require twilio/sdk" I needed to use
"composer.phar require twilio/sdk" since I am on mac. It worked
What is the difference between composer and composer.phar?
Example:
composer install
composer.phar install
Is there a reason why I keep seeing code writen using composer.phar all the time when composer does the same?
There is no difference - composer.phar is the executable and composer can be an alias or symlink for it, depending on the way you've installed composer. As rob006 pointed out, there can be multiple ways to install composer: the official documentation at https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally recommends to move the downloaded PHAR file to /usr/local/bin/composer which will make it callable through composer for all users of your system.
If you would move the file to another destination, like /usr/local/bin/composer.phar, the same composer binary would be available under that different command composer.phar.
And finally, if you would not have the chance to install composer globally, you could put it under either name in any local place
I've installed Composer on a shared-host (hostgator) following this guide:
https://laravel.io/forum/02-13-2014-how-to-install-laravel-on-a-hostgator-shared-server
It was installed using this command:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
When I try to run composer I get the message "/home2/georger/composer.phar: no such file or directory" although the file does exist, I can open it. Other questions that deal with this suggest moving it to /usr/local/bin but that's not an option for me.
As outlined in the installation instructions, you will need to pass it to the php interpreter:
$ php composer.phar
Alternatively, you might want to reconsider whether you really want to execute composer in a production environment or rather execute it during the deployment and then deploy the artifacts. In other words, you probably want to run composer install on the machine from which you want to deploy to the production system, and then synchronize files from there to the production system, for example, using rsync.
For reference, see https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md.
I'm new to Yii2, I'm trying to install yii2 application advanced template.
I did follow these steps:
1 - Download yii2-app-advanced zip file from https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced
Follow GETTING STARTED guide:
My vendor directory Show Empty.
Please help, thanks in advance
Installing via Composer
If you do not already have Composer installed, you may do so by following the instructions at getcomposer.org. On Linux and Mac OS X, you'll run the following commands:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
On Windows, you'll download and run Composer-Setup.exe.
Please refer to the Composer Documentation if you encounter any problems or want to learn more about Composer usage.
If you had Composer already installed before, make sure you use an up to date version. You can update Composer by running composer self-update.
With Composer installed, you can install Yii by running the following commands under a Web-accessible folder:
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.0.3"
composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced basic
The first command installs the composer asset plugin which allows managing bower and npm package dependencies through Composer. You only need to run this command once for all. The second command installs Yii in a directory named basic. You can choose a different directory name if you want.
Note: During the installation Composer may ask for your Github login credentials. This is normal because Composer needs to get enough API rate-limit to retrieve the dependent package information from Github. For more details, please refer to the Composer documentation.
composer create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced basic
Yii2 Installation Following command:
(1) First install Composer (LINUX):
Locally:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
OR
(1) First install Composer (WINDOWS):
C:\Users\username>cd C:\bin
C:\bin>php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
Note: If the above fails due to readfile, use the http url or enable php_openssl.dll in php.ini
C:\bin>echo #php "%~dp0composer.phar" %>composer.bat*
C:\Users\username>composer -V
Composer version 27d8904
(2) Yii2 framework online downloads:
Basic App:
php composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic 2.0.0-beta
Advanced App:
php composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced 2.0.0-beta
(3) Other App Settings Command:
php init
php yii migrate
Refrence
use composer cos you need composer in future too!
and after unzip the advance project in www or htdocs you should navigate to your project with cmd or terminal and type yii migrate after that again type composer update
I have been strugling to create an application with laravel installer from terminal.
I have globally installed composer and laravel..
however i constantly get this error:
If you check at the bottom of the screenshot you can see -bash: new: command not found however laravel command is being executed perfectly. My osx version is 10.10.2. Macbook pro.
Any help will be appreciated.
Another question (bit out of the topic)
Is git inbuild in mac osx?
Cuz i hadn't installed it but it shows all of its commands.
Regards,
=======================
I created alias for composer and laravel in .bash_profile and .bashrc and it worked however now I'm getting this error :
Prajwols-MacBook-Pro:htdocs prajwol$ laravel new test
Crafting application...

Warning: ZipArchive::close(): Invalid or unitialized Zip object in /Users/prajwol/.composer/vendor/laravel/installer/src/NewCommand.php on line 101
Application ready! Build something amazing.
Result : An empty folder is created called test in destination folder.
The command needs a project name: laravel new <NAME>. Like laravel new blog. This will create a new laravel project in a new blog directory in the current path.
