After I am using

composer global require laravel/installer

it seems the installation is success. For the second time, the result is: 

Changed current directory to /home/ryanadhi/.config/composer
Using version ^3.1 for laravel/installer
./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update
Generating autoload files
13 packages you are using are looking for funding.
Use the `composer fund` command to find out more!

then if I do 

echo $PATH

the result is

    ~/.composer/vendor/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/usr/local/go/bin:/home/ryanadhi/go/bin:/home/ryanadhi/.composer/vendor/bin

However if I try

laravel

the result is always:

laravel: command not found

  • What have you tried to debug the problem? According to that output of composer global require, nothing has been installed Commented Jun 1, 2020 at 17:04
  • It was my second trial, that's why nothing has been installed/updated. the first one shows the installation completed Commented Jun 2, 2020 at 3:10

Editing the ~/.bashrc in Ubuntu 20.04 to reflect the path shown in the "Changed current directory to /home/ryanadhi/.config/composer" , message. fixed this for me.

first


 gedit ~/.bashrc

then edit the line

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

I had to execute source ~/.bashrc after changing ~/.bashrc

You need to add /home/ryanadhi/.config/composer/vendor/bin to your path.

The output that said "Changed current directory to /home/ryanadhi/.config/composer" means that /home/ryanadhi/.config/composer is your Composer global directory.

my path written like this /home/ryanadhi/.composer/vendor/bin so it is not correct?
Nope, it is not.

For Mac users:

composer global require laravel/installer
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

laravel

If your still having issues running the laravel command you can symlnk laravel to /usr/local/bin/

Use this command:

ln -s ~/.composer/vendor/laravel/installer/bin/laravel laravel

Worked for me

I had to do two things, first I needed the "~" in front of the path in the bashrc file. My path line was:

export PATH="~/home/stephen/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

and I had been putting "sudo" in front of "laravel new..." command which didn't work.

With those changes it installed as expected.

On Windows 11, I resolved this by running composer global require laravel/installer.
