I am having memory issues with composer; trying to increase the available amount above 128MO. I have been following the guidelines from composer.org but nothing seems to work.
If I locate php.ini on my machine I get:
/Applications/MAMP_2018-08-02_14-10-44/conf/php7.1.6/php.ini
/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf/php.ini
/private/etc/php.ini.default
/private/etc/php.ini.default-previous
I sudo /private/etc/php.ini.default and change MEMORY_LIMIT = 512MO
but when I do php -r "echo ini_get('memory_limit').PHP_EOL;" I still get 128 MO
now I try php -d memory_limit=-1 composer.phar but I get Could not open input file: composer.phar
locate composer.phar returns nothing....
What am I missing please ?
To run composer with no memory limit, first find out where your composer binary is with which composer. Use the resulting path like so:
php -d memory_limit=-1 /usr/local/bin/composer require etc/etc
You could also alias this: alias composer="php -d memory_limit=-1 /usr/local/bin/composer", which would allow you to call composer as you would normally.
Add that line to your bash profile if you want to use composer without limits permanently.
To have no memory limit, set this directive to -1
php -d memory_limit=-1 which composer install
I'm trying to run these command from code, but having some trouble finding out how.
php composer.phar dump-autoload -o
php composer.phar require 'vendor/some-package'
php composer.phar update 'vendor/some-package'
EDIT
Forgot to mention, that I don't want to use the exec function because of potential risk and the fact that's blocked on most servers by default.
I did manage to download the .phar file from code, but not how to run these commands. I'm trying to build a friendly as possible solution and don't want use to dumpautoload manually after installing something etc.
Code to download
$composerPath = base_path('composer.phar');
copy('https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar', $composerPath);
I have found a working solution. You can call these command with Symphony's process component.
$process = new \Symfony\Component\Process\Process('php composer.phar autoload-dump');
$process->setWorkingDirectory(base_path());
$process->run();
Worked it out into a class:
https://codeneverlied.com/using-composer-from-code/
you can runcomposer global require "laravel/envoy=~1.0" to bring Laravel's envoy package into your project. With envoy you can write something like
#servers(['localhost' => '127.0.0.1'])
#task('foo', ['on' => 'localhost'])
php composer.phar dump-autoload -o
php composer.phar require 'vendor/some-package'
php composer.phar update 'vendor/some-package'
#endtask
but at some point the server will have to run envoy run task, this is also guessing on your question. You may more elaborate more on what you are trying to actually do.
cd /tmp
wget https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
chmod 755 composer.phar
php composer.phar --version
I've seen some things similar ( Can't move composer ) to this but I have yet to figure it out how to fix this problem.
I'm installing composer on linux(fedora 22) following this guide: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/53409/does-fedora-has-composer-in-the-repo/?answer=53445#post-id-53445
The end result I am seeking is using laravel with docker for a group project but so far I'm stuck here with this error with composer.
I enter: sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer in the command line and it kicks back this message: mv: cannot stat ‘composer.phar’: No such file or directory
I'm uncertain of whats happening here, is this expecting that there is already a composer file in /usr/local/bin/ , because there is not. It's obviously not creating one either.
Perhaps this is completely over my head, that said can someone explain what is going on here to me and help me reach a solution for installing composer?
Download the composer.phar manualy.
cd to the directory where you have the downloaded composer.phar and run the below command:
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer.phar
to move the composer.phar to the bin directory /usr/local/bin. Now restart the terminal and it should work. Note that it is a composer executable for Linux (didn't test it but it is in the docs).
I would adjust the move command above slightly to:
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
As per the instructions at https://getcomposer.org/download/
That way, you can actually run composer with just,
php composer
As it's located in your /user/local/bin as just composer. If you move it as composer.phar things get strange.
Note, moving the composer.phar won't relocate the composer.json and composer.lock files that will be the original directory where composer was installed, but the composer command will run fine.
There is a plugin that need to config the composer
First , I need to run:
https://github.com/thephpleague/omnipay
composer require omnipay/paypal:~2.0
So, I have type in the above command in xampp shell, it works, and a composer.json , vendor folder is created in xampp root folder.
The first step is success. Second, I need to config
https://github.com/lokielse/omnipay-alipay
I have edit the composer.json to :
{
"require": {
"lokielse/omnipay-alipay": "dev-master"
}
}
But the problem is it seems I can not run the below command in xampp shell. It just show $ is not a command. So, how can I execute it? Thanks a lot
$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar update
If the first command is working successfully, then it means that your composer works fine by using the command composer which usually is a simplification of php composer.phar. Also the commands curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php are needed to install composer but you clearly have it already installed.
Summarising, do not run these commands:
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar update
Instead run this:
composer update
You just have a typo! You dont need to enter $ in your console
Run one of those commands
composer update or php composer.phar update (depends how you installed composer)
I am new to symfony2 and reading symblog. In third chapter while trying with data-fixtures I tried the command:
php composer.phar update
but I got the error:
Could not open input file: composer.phar
So I googled a little and tried
php composer.phar install
but still getting the same error. So please guide how to deal with this composer to install new extentions or bundles like data-fixtures in symfony2 using wamp.
If you followed instructions like these:
https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
Which tell you to do the following:
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Then it's likely that you, like me, ran those commands and didn't read the next part of the page telling you to stop referring to composer.phar by its full name and abbreviate it as an executable (that you just renamed with the mv command). So this:
$ php composer.phar update friendsofsymfony/elastica-bundle
Becomes this:
$ composer update friendsofsymfony/elastica-bundle
I had the same problem on Windows and used a different solution. I used the Composer_Setup.exe installation file supplied by the composer website and it does a global install.
After installing, make sure your PATH variable points to the directory where composer.phar is stored. This is usually C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin (ProgramData might be a hidden directory). It goes without saying, but also be sure that the PHP executable is also in your PATH variable.
You can then simply call
composer install
instead of
php composer.phar install
Background
It is helpful to know that there are two ways to install (and use) Composer: locally as a file in your project directory, or globally as a system-wide executable.
Installing Composer locally simply means that you are downloading a file (composer.phar - which is a PHP Archive) into your project directory. You will have to download it for every project that requires Composer.
Like a regular PHP file that you want to execute on the command line, you will have to run it with PHP:
php composer.phar update
Which basically tells the php executable to run the file composer.phar with update as argument.
However, if you install it globally, you can make composer itself executable, so you can call it without php (and don't have to download it for every project). In other words, you can use composer like this:
composer update
Since you are executing php composer.phar update, and you are getting the error Could not open input file: composer.phar, you probably don't have composer.phar in your current directory.
Solution
If you have Composer installed globally, simply run composer update instead of php composer.phar update.
If you don't have Composer installed yet, download the PHAR using the following command:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
This will download the installer and run it using php. The installer will download the actual Composer PHAR to your current working directory, and make it executable.
To install Composer globally (I recommend this), copy the file to a location in your PATH. The exact location differs per operating system and setup, see https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally for more information.
Personally, I prefer to install Composer in my home directory so I don't need sudo to install or update the composer executable (which can be a security risk). As I'm on Linux, I use the following command:
mv composer.phar ~/.local/bin/composer
If anyone else came this low on the page and still didn't find a working answer (like I did), use this:
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer.phar
$ alias composer='/usr/local/bin/composer.phar'
$ composer --version
et voila! A working composer :-)
To solve this issue the first thing you need to do is to get the last version of composer :
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
I recommend you to move the composer.phar file to a global “bin” directoy, in my case (OS X) the path is:
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer.phar
than you need to create an alias file for an easy access
alias composer='/usr/local/bin/composer.phar'
If everything is ok, now it is time to verify our Composer version:
composer --version
Let's make composer great again.
I found this worked as I did not have curl installed. On Windows 8 with XAMPP installed. It will add it to your local build I use .gitignore to avoid the repo
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
I got it from here: https://getcomposer.org/download/
This worked for me:
composer install
Without
php composer install
Run the following in command line:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Yesterday I was trying to install Yii2 framework on Windows 10 and I have same problem(Could not open input file: composer.phar) running this command:
php composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced 2.0.9
Issue is composer.phr file is not in current directory,you need to give full path composer.phr like
php C:\ProgramData\Composer\bin\composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced 2.0.9
Or you can create yii2 project using this command:
composer create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced 2.0.9
Or
composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced 2.0.9
I had the same issue. It is solved when I made composer globally available. Now I am able to tun the commands from any where in the folder.
composer update
composer require "samplelibraryyouwant"
Use this :
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
Hi friends, follow the steps to fix this issue in MAC OS
Step 1: first run the command in Terminal with your project directory
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Step 2: Move the composer.phar in your project directory
$ mv composer.phar /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/bashrushAPI/composer.phar
Step 3: Setup alias the composer
$ alias composer='/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/bashrushAPI/composer.phar'
Step 4: Check the composer version now
$ composer --version
Composer version 1.7.2 2018-08-16 16:57:12
Step 5: Confirm the project folders and file placed on bellow
$ ls
CONTRIBUTING.md docker-compose.yml templates
README.md logs tests
composer.json phpunit.xml vendor
composer.lock public
composer.phar src
Step 6: Now update composer
$ composer.phar update
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update
Generating autoload files
Step 7: Run your sample project
$ php composer.phar start
php -S localhost:8080 -t public

Easy answer, navigate to the directory where you already have the composer.json file that you want to run (ideally your project folder) then download composer into the same folder, then instantly run the install command like so:
php composer.phar install
This will automatically find the composer.json and run your required scripts. Good luck. This stuff is a breeze for terminal wizards and totally bizarre to the rest of us
I am using windows 8.0. In my case to install or update i just use composer install or something else instead of php composer.phar. This worked for me
like
composer require google/apiclient:1.*
To googlers who installed composer via HomeBrew:
make a symbolic link for /usr/local/bin/composer
ln -s /usr/local/bin/composer /usr/local/bin/composer.phar
I got this error "Could not open input file: composer.phar" while installing Yii2 using below mentioned command.
php composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic
Solutions which worked for me was, I changed the command to
composer create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic
I hope it help!
your composer.phar should be placed in above way.
For windows, I made composer.cmd and used the below text:
php c:\programs\php\composer.phar %*
where composer.phar is installed and c:\programs\php\ is added to my path.
Not sure why this isn't done automatically.
For Windows10 Pro, Following steps fix the issue. select properties check the Unblock program option. run the installer, run the command CMD with Admin rights. At command promp run composer --version to make sure it is globally installed. you should be able to now run composer require drush/drush This is for drush dependency using composer.
Command like this :
composer.phar require intervention/image
error: composer.phar: command not found
I solved the problem by following this process
i set the composer globally and renamed composer.phar to composer then run this command composer require intervention/image . and now it's working fine
Just open cmd as Administrator and go into your project folder and check it is working or not using composer command.
The above error is because of the composer is not accessible globally.
So you need to run "cmd" as Administrator.
This is working fine for me.
If you are using Ubuntu/Linux and you are trying to run
php composer.phar require intervention/image on your command line.
Use sudo composer require intervention/image instead. This will give you want you are looking for.
I had an issue getting a package.json's script to run composer dumpautoload.
I had the file /usr/local/bin/composer.phar, and also the file ~/.bash_profile (on OSX) contained:
alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar"
This allowed composer to work from the command line, but it didn't allow scripts to execute composer.
The fix was this:
$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ mv composer.phar composer
$ sudo chmod +x composer // +x allows the file to be executable, such as by CLI scripts
But that yielded this error Could not open input file: /usr/local/bin/composer.phar
The fix was to update ~/.bash_profile (sudo nano ~/.bash_profile), and change the composer alias to:
alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer"
# ie: `.phar` extension removed
Now everything is behaving as expected.
Your composer.phar must be in Source files. I had same problem and I just cut my composer.phar into mine framework-standard-edition folder, where is my whole strong textproject.
if the composer is already install all you need is to know where the composer.phar file is (its directory) after that you move to your symfony project where you have the composer.json and from that directory you execute your composer.phar file. In windows here is what you have to do.
symfony project directory_where_composer.json_is>php the_directory_where_composer.phar_is/composer update
That's all
use two steps .
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo php composer.phar update
You can do
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
The -sS flag meaning don't show progress, do show errors
and then
php composer.phar install

I've reach to this problem when trying to install composer on a Window 7 machine from http://getcomposer.org/download page. As there was an existing compose version (provided by acquia Dev Desktop tool) the installation fails and the only chance was to fix this issue manually. (or to remove Dev Desktop tool composer).
Anyway the error message is quite straightforward (Could not open input file: composer.phar), we should then tell the system where the file is located.
Edit composer.bat file and should look like:
#SET PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\DevDesktop\php5_4;%PATH%
php.exe composer.phar %*
See that composer.phar doesn´t have a file path. When standing in a different folder than the one where composer.phar is located the system won´t be able to find it. So, just complete the composer.phar file path:
#SET PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\DevDesktop\php5_4;;%PATH%
SET composerScript=composer.phar
php.exe "%~dp0%composerScript%" %*
Reopen your window console and that should do the trick.
EDIT: this has an issue because it always uses %~dp0%composerScript%
folder as composer execution. Then all configurations are done in that
folder (besides standing on your current project folder) and not in your project folder.
So far I haven't found a was to make a manual composer installation to
work globally on Windows. Perhaps you should go ahead with composer for windows installation mentioned above.
Do not access the composer by
composer composer.pher install
use
composer install
You can just try this command if you're already installed the Composer :
composer update
or if you want add some bundle to your composer try this :
composer require "/../"
