Laravel (ubuntu): after installation of composer in the directory www/laravel i tried to create the project with the command (composer create-project laravel/laravel project1 --prefer-dist) but an error is popped
Error : No command 'composer' found, did you mean: Command 'compose' from package 'mime-support' (main) composer: command not found
The recommended way to install composer is by installing it globally:
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Now you can run:
$ composer
Another way is to install it locally, this is not recommended. That would mean only executing
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Then, you should use:
$ ./composer.phar
# or
$ php composer.phar
Your composer is not accessible globally or not installed properly.
Use below command to install it globally so that you can run composer command everywhere.
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
Notice the --filename=composer switch in the command it renames composer.phar to composer so that you can run $ composer instead of $ composer.phar

./composerorcomposer.pharif you "installed" it in that directory.
