Installing Laravel 4 using composer.phar without terminal access - laravel

I don't have a shell or command line terminal to install composer.phar, what can I do? Is there any other way?

I had a similar situation with my hosting company. Even though I had an SSH access, the PHP installed in the SSH environment was 5.2.17 and I couldn't install composer. The web server itself had PHP 5.4 and I have managed to find a workaround and got Composer and Laravel 4 installed by running a PHP file on the web server.
For Laravel 4 to work, you need at least PHP 5.3 along with some required extensions, i.e. MCRYPT. You can check your PHP version and other related information via the phpinfo() function.
The PHP file I used to get Laravel installed is below. Copy composer.phar to your Laravel installation path.
<?php
putenv('COMPOSER_HOME=' . '/path/to/laravel');
$command = '/usr/local/php54/bin/php-cli /path/to/laravel/composer.phar install -d /path/to/laravel';
$output = system($command . ' 2>&1');
echo('<pre>' . $command . "\n" . $output);
?>
I had to use a full path for the php command line, because the default php was pointing to the old version, 5.2.17. Thus, you may not need the full path. If you do, adjust the path accordingly.
I hope that it helps.

You can just download composer.phar, put it in your application root (near the composer.json file) and then run :
php composer.phar install
On Windows there is also a composer.exe installer available.

How to install composer globally for laravel app in windows?

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 ^_^

Laravel with php 7: No supported encrypter found

This question has been asked for many times, so let me list the steps I did on it:
Setting 'cipher' => 'AES-128-CBC', (original AES-256-CBC);
php artisan key:generate
pasting the new key to the .env file
but the error remains the same.
In phpinfo, mcrypt shows enabled, although there's no extension in httpd.conf. Some answers says that the extension is integrated with php 7.
The project is downloaded from git and installed with composer and npm, the .env file was sent from another developer.
Might be there is a problem with your mcrypt. You need to check whether mcrypt php extention is installed or not and it should be enabled.
on command prompt run php -m | grep mcrypt
if you couldn't find in your apache just install it.
https://www.myoddweb.com/2010/11/18/install-mcrypt-for-php-on-windows/ here is the link.
After performed last two steps from you listed into your problem, have you clear config cache?.
If not then you must run php artisan config:clear because Laravel caches all config data.
Also why you change cipher? if no reason, revert it with original and performed the steps again.
Might this work for you.

How to install composer - Missing openssl

I have read How to enable PHP's openssl extension to install Composer? and You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https
They both state that the php file needs to uncomment extension=php_openssl.dll from the php.ini files which live in both these folders:
C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.0.0
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.16 ' I don't think I need to, but did it any way
I've done that, and then restarted the PC.
WAMP is running on my Windows 10 machine
The same error always shows when trying to install Composer
Some settings on your machine make Composer unable to work properly.
Make sure that you fix the issues listed below and run this script again:
The openssl extension is missing, which means that secure HTTPS transfers are impossible.
If possible you should enable it or recompile php with --with-openssl
What do I need to do to install Composer?
Edit
From C:\PHP (the PHP folder) I started a command prompt and ran php -r "phpinfo();"
In the results, there is the following:
OpenSSL support => disabled (install ext/openssl)
I have followed http://php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.addtopath
You have multiple version of PHP installed:
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.0.0
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php5.6.16
C:\PHP
The PHP version, which you run on the CLI is based on your environment PATH variable. The first PHP path wins.
run php --ini on the CLI. It will show you which php.ini is included and also the path of PHP
edit this php.ini file and activate the extension=php_openssl.dll
then run php -m to check, if the extension is loaded
then run composer

Install Laravel framework on WAMP

I have been trying to install Laravel framework on WAMP.
I been following the steps from http://laravel.com/
and Installing Laravel 4.1 in Windows 7 // Make .phar file globally available to windows command line
When i run the command
composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist , getting the error message
[RuntimeException]
You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https
But i have enabled openssl in php.ini by removing the comment sign.
Please help
If you are using WAMPServer here is the problem:
WAMPServer's PHP CLI ( Command Line Interface ) i.e. running php.exe from command line uses a different php.ini to the one used by PHP in Apache.
Edit \wamp\bin\php\php5.x.y\php.ini
Activate the extensions you require the PHP CLI to have access to in the usual way i.e. remove the comment ';' from the extension=php_xxxx.dll line.
Wamp uses 2 php.ini
first one that you changed from the Wamp panel and second one that located on Apache folder.
i think on the wamp/bin/apache/bin make sure to enable openssl on both and restart the Wamp.
This worked for me. Hope this helps you.

Laravel 4 Installation Problems on WAMP/Windows

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
