I'm going through the Laravel Homestead setup, but a particular instruction seems to be completely out of context/unexplained. I'm not at all familiar with composer, having only used npm for package management in the past.
In the 'Installing Homestead' section, under With Composer + PHP Tool it reads:
Once the box has been added to your Vagrant installation, you are ready to install the Homestead CLI tool using the Composer global command:
composer global require "laravel/homestead=~2.0"
Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH so the homestead executable is found when you run the homestead command in your terminal.
http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/homestead
Emphasis mine. What does this mean? What ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory? What PATH? Feels like it's missing a step!
Updating the PATH variable is slightly out of the spec of the Laravel docs as its something you should do for composer, but regardless I too think Laravel should at least link through to a resource of how to go about it.
Create/edit your ~/.bash_profile, add the following
export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH
finally run source ~/.bash_profile to update your environment
I wrote a blog on this which goes into a little more detail http://blog.iwader.co.uk/updating-path-environment-variable-osx-and-unix-systems/

I have installed composer on Centos 7 virtualbox with PHP 5.6.27. I will show the commands that I have used and the issues that I am now having. I should first say that all of these commands have worked on previous installations.
Okay so for starters here is what I used to install composer.
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Followed by
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Now I am trying to install laravel via the commands listed below.
composer global require "acacha/adminlte-laravel-installer=~3.0"
Up to this point all of the commands listed above have successfully worked.
Now here is the current problem. When I try to run the following command I get an error.
laravel new laravel-with-admin-lte
-bash: /root/.composer/vendor/bin/laravel: No such file or directory.
I have tried a whole set of remedies for this message but it cannot find the .composer directory. Can anyone tell me where the correct .composer directory is and how I can modify it so that it looks to the proper location to finalize this installation?
I appreciate any solutions that you can provide me. I have struggled with this for two days straight and have googled everything under the sun. Hopefully, someone on here has had a similar solution with a valid resolution.
Put an alias to the freshly installed Laravel installer in your user configuration .bashrc:
nano ~/.bashrc
And place this inside the file:
alias laravel='~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/laravel'
And run the following to make sure your bashrc profile is reloaded:
source ~/.bashrc
laravel new project
download as superuser
download installer
sudo composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
setting up path
export PATH="~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"
check laravel command
laravel
I had the same problem, so I changed the directory.
This is the directory where your bash was created: /root/.config/composer
enter image description here
but when excute the laravel command, the system search en the directory : bash: /root/.composer/vendor/bin/laravel:
enter image description here
So, just you need to change the address /root/.config/composer/vendor to /root/.composer/vendor.
PD. sorry I am learning english, so it is a little bad.
I am trying to install laravel using composer
composer global require "laravel/installer"
but i get
I just finished reinstall my windows 7, before that laravel installation was always succesful and now it is not.. maybe someone know how solve this problem?
According to Laravel's Documentation
Make sure to place the $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin directory (or the equivalent directory for your OS) in your $PATH so the laravel executable can be located by your system.
In case of Windows you should ad that $PATH to your enviornment variables.
I am new to Laravel and Composer, and am following some guides including LaraCasts.com . One of the things that need to be done is use Composer to require packages to use in the Laravel project. However, this doesn't work for me.
I installed Laravel using the composer create-project method (http://laravel.com/docs/5.0), and so far everything was fine. However, any package I "require" now actually goes into the C:\Users\user\vendor folder, and the composer.json file is in C:\Users\user.
I understand that Composer is supposed to separate between projects as opposed to being global like PEAR. So how do I specify that I'm working on a specific project and require everything into that project? Also, what is the actual path where I'm supposed to put packages in Laravel, in case I want to do it manually?
I am using Windows 7 and Xampp.
When you run composer require {pacakage}, make sure you use the cd command (Change Directory - I think) into the project you want to install the package for. So if you're in Xampp it could be something like cd C:\xampp\htdocs\my-laravel-project\ or whatever the path to your project is, then run your composer require {pacakage}.
I believe it's installing it in C:\Users\user\vendor as when you open your terminal/command prompt the default location is C:\Users\{username}\.
Please make sure you ran the composer create-project in your web root, for Xampp I think it's C:\xampp\htdocs\ but it could be different depending on how you set up Xampp when you installed it.
I have composer installed, but checking the Laravel docs, I'm struggling with:
"Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH so the laravel executable is found when you run the laravel command in your terminal."
I'm not sure what to do here, could someone explain it to me?
Go to terminal and paste the next line:
nano ~/.bash_profile
After that paste the next line in nano:
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"
Done. Restart your terminal and enjoy laravel.
The PATH environment variable tells your system where to look when you run a command. By default ~/.composer/vendor/bin will not be in your PATH. Therefore, if you just attempt to run the command laravel after installing it via composer, your terminal will give you an error saying the command is not found. But if you use the entire path to the command (~/.composer/vendor/bin/laravel), it will execute successfully.
When you run the command composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1", composer puts the laravel installer into the directory ~/.composer/vendor/bin (in *nix, ~ represents your home directory). Adding ~/.composer/vendor/bin to your PATH allows you to just execute the command laravel instead of having to use the full path of ~/.composer/vendor/bin/laravel.

Installing composer packages globally
First,I use wamp on my Window7.I open php-openssl,and I git pull the laravel from github.com,and then I put laravel on my d:/wamp/www/, I change the c:/windows/system32.But when I open the url
http://localhost/laravel/public
I see this question.
I am a newbie on laravel,and without install on Ubuntu.Where is my wrong, without no pear,or something else? Thank you!
You need to run composer install in a command prompt.
If you do not have composer, download the phar file from their website.
Place the file you just downloaded into the laravel directory.
Then, make sure that the absolute path to php.exe is added to your PATH environment variable.
Then, you can hold down shift, and right click anywhere inside the laravel directory, and open up a command prompt window. Then, run php composer.phar install. The process may take some time, depending on the speed of your internet connection.
Instead of using the above method, you can download the Composer installer for Windows, install it, and just run composer install.
Note that you only need to do this in order to put the Laravel components together. You do not need to run it on a live server.
Please consult the Laravel Docs for installation and other instructions: http://laravel.com/docs
Try This :
Installing Laravel 4 on WAMP
1. Enable OpenSSL
OpenSSL must be enabled in the PHP configuration.
Edit php.ini in your WAMP’s PHP folder, e.g.:
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\
Note: This is not the php.ini in C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin.
Find the following line and remove the semicolon save it:
;extension=php_openssl.dll changed to extension=php_openssl.dll
2. Install Composer
(i).Download the Composer Windows installer from getcomposer.org.
(ii). Run the installer.
(iii). When it asks for the location of php.exe, point it to the executable in your WAMP’s PHP folder, e.g.:
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\
(iv). Finish the installation.
(v). Open a command-line interface (cmd) and type:
composer
It should return a list of options. If you get an error, restart your computer and try again.
Composer has now been installed and added to your PATH environment variable. This means you can run it from any directory using the command-line interface.
Now we need to install Composer. This is a dependency manager that will download the latest release of Laravel and specific versions of Laravel’s dependencies, such as Doctrine and Symfony.
3.Install Laravel
Now that Composer has been installed, Composer can download and install Laravel onto your system.
(i). Open a command-line interface (cmd).
(ii). Go to the directory in which you want to install Laravel. This is usually your development directory. In this tutorial, we’ll use C:\wamp\www\laravel
(iii). Instruct Composer to install Laravel into a project directory. we use project name myproject.
composer create-project laravel/laravel myproject --prefer-dist
Note: This will install Laravel in a subdirectory myproject of the current working directory.
Three type of installation to be completed
Now your project was running directory like
C:\wamp\www\laravel\myproject\public\
After completed put tick mark and increase the point....
Do php composer.phar dump-autoload or php artisan dump-autoload
