sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
from the terminal. I got this output:
Composer successfully installed to: /Users/kevin/composer.phar
Use it: php composer.phar
Some settings on your machine may cause stability issues with Composer.
If you encounter issues, try to change the following:
The OpenSSL library (0.9.8zc) used by PHP does not support TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.1.
If possible you should upgrade OpenSSL to version 1.0.1 or above.
Then I tried running: composer -h
And it didn't work, it said command not found. Any ideas on how to solve this?
Would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
As the script said, composer is installed to /Users/kevin/composer.phar, which means it is only available when you are in this directory. In order to make it available everywhere, the file has to be placed inside the /usr/local/bin folder.
The following command will install it there directly:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

I have installed xampp in arch linux and also the composer using the command given below:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer |
sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
I have also installed laravel using the following commands.
composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
export PATH="~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"
But still, when I type laravel ne <project> I get the error
bash:laravel is not a command
How can I check it is properly installed?
Modify you shell script
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
And add this
export PATH="$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin"
or this
export PATH="~/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"
I know there are some questions about how to install composer on SO, but they did not help me.
I am trying to install composer (for laravel). I have OS X El Capitan.
I downloaded composer like this:
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
#!/usr/bin/env php
All settings correct for using Composer
Downloading...
Composer successfully installed to: /Users/blckbird/composer.phar
Use it: php composer.par
Next, I tried to execute the laravel installation:
composer global require "laravel/installer"
Which did not work because:
-bash: composer: command not found
So I tried:
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/composer
Which worked, however, I still can not execute composer (same error as above).
What am I doing wrong and how can I install composer correct?
Since your composer.phar is installed in /Users/blckbird/, try this for global installation:
sudo mv /Users/blckbird/composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Note: On some versions of OSX the /usr directory does not exist by default. If you receive the error "/usr/local/bin/composer: No such file or directory" then you must create the directory manually before proceeding: mkdir -p /usr/local/bin. More info.
I am trying to install laravel via composer ( http://laravel.com/docs/quick#installation ) and I got stuck at the point where it requires Mcrypt extension
Mcrypt PHP extension required.
I installed Mcrypt extension using brew. But still it throws the same requirement error.
I also tried changing the path as suggested here but my which php doesn't show anything other than
/usr/bin/php
Am I doing something wrong with assigning path at ~/.bash_profile? why is "which php" output still the same. and why is mcrypt installation not working on laravel workout?
What command did you use to install mcrypt? It is possible that you try to install the mcrypt extension for the wrong php version.
Try debugging the situation with
php -v
and
ls -al /usr/bin/php
There is a different install recipe for version 5.5 and 5.4 of PHP.
brew install php54-mcrypt
brew install php55-mcrypt
OK, I was fed up off all other solutions which weren't working, so finally downloading and compiling php from source itself worked.
So here's what I did:
Download php from official site
Follow following instructions
cd to/extracted/php/folder
cd /ext/mycript
phpize
./configure
make
make test
sudo make install
Add extension=mcrypt.so to /etc/php.ini file.
Now restart the server
sudo apachectl restart
You are good to go, Cheers! :)
I am trying to install composer on my Mac so that I can use the Laravel framework. I successfully downloaded composer through the terminal, and then I moved composer.phar to to usr/local/bin using the command: sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin.
I then changed directories to my root directory where I have the laravel-master files. After changing to this directory in the terminal, and then using the command: composer install
I receive the error: -bash: composer: command not found
I have tried other variations (such as php composer.phar install, etc..), however, I keep receiving the same error.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH
$ echo $PATH
Then execute
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
^^^^^^^^ you didn't rename it
For reference see
Installing composer.phar globally on *nix
I'm running Mavericks and had same problem. I changed /usr/local/bin/composer to /usr/bin/composer and it worked for me.
for mac os x Mavericks and Yosemite El capitan
Change
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
To
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/bin/composer
Now if you just write composer in terminal, it will show you all available commands
Then "if running MAMP" navagate you htdocs folder and run
composer create-project laravel/laravel laratest
Hope that helps
A quick copy-paste version including sudo:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
Now in 2017 I am using MacOS SIERRA 10.12.6 and sudo mv composer.phar /usr/bin/composer doesn't work. It works for me sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer. Now I can run composer instead of php composer.pha
I want to use laravel, so, firstly I have to install composer, I uploaded laravel in a folder "laravel" now i go to the folder and I do this
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
according the site of composer...
So, now, according laravel I should do this
composer create-project laravel/laravel
but returns "composer command not found"
When I finished installing composer I get this Use it: php composer.phar
So, I try again php composer.phar create-project laravel/laravel
and it runs,but it stays as Installing dependencies (incluiding require-dev) for a long long time.
My enviroment is Debian 6, and its a cloud server, so, internet should not be a problem.
It just stays like that, any idea what I'm doing wrong? How to solve this and make it run?
Thanks
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
# if you're installing as root or privileged account, don't leave the permissions on default 777
$ chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/composer
$ composer install
