I have installed composer by the instructions given in their site for Ubuntu 16.04. Its giving the usual output after giving the 'composer' command in the terminal. After installing composer, I have downloaded the composer using

composer global require "laravel/installer"

Now to install Laravel, I have to add $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin in my path. But there is no .composer folder in my home directory. Can anybody tell me why this is happening ?

  • I know, its a hidden folder. I think its clear that I am posing this question as pressing clrl+H is not showing it. Commented Mar 19, 2018 at 2:00

    At Jan 2016, Composer respect XDG specifications github.com/composer/composer/pull/1407. You can find it inside ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin Commented May 23, 2021 at 8:41

In my Ubuntu 16.04.4, after downloading the Laravel installer using

composer global require "laravel/installer"

I found my Laravel here :

~/.config/composer/vendor/laravel/installer/

Then I set my .bashrc using nano ~/.bashrc and export your composer config file :

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin"

And refresh using source ~/.bashrc in terminal

And Laravel is running, but I did not need any .composer folder as said in the Laravel official site. This answer has helped me a lot.
