I went to https://getcomposer.org/download/ and executed the top 4 lines to install composer. I now see composer.phar when I SSH into my server. I am trying to install Laravel and when I run composer global require "laravel/installer" I get the following:
-bash: composer: command not found
I have gone through the first 3 pages of Google and searched here. I run php composer.phar and can see all the commands as intended. I run:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --check
and get: All settings correct for using Composer
I installed this years ago on a different server but had to upgrade to php 7 so I got a new one. I don't remember this being such an issue back then. Any ideas?
It seems that you've forgotten to move your installation to a global installation:
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
I've downloaded a Symfony application and then checked it using php -f ./app/check.php. However, I get:
[ERROR]
Your system is not ready to run Symfony projects
Fix the following mandatory requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Vendor libraries must be installed
> Vendor libraries are missing. Install composer following
> instructions from http://getcomposer.org/. Then run "php
> composer.phar install" to install them.
However, there is no composer.phar file in this application. e.g.
php composer.phar install
Could not open input file: composer.phar
Note: I already have composer installed.
Any suggestions?
The answer is right there in the error message you received.
Install composer following instructions from http://getcomposer.org/
Instead of composer.phar run:
php composer install
I think that's what you need. If you install Composer, then you probably renamed it to composer, and that's the bin you run.
I am trying to run behat on my vendor folder. I have installed composer globally, have installed the behat package, but every time I run bin/behat I keep getting this message from composer
You must set up the project dependencies, run the following commands:
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install
I am not sure how to fix this. I see the files are in the vendor folder, and when I type "composer" on the terminal, I see the manual.
If anyone can help me resolve this I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
There are several possible problems leading to this situation:
Make sure that composer is installed in your $PATH. That is, running composer at a command prompt should work, and you shouldn't need to run an explicit path like ~/Downloads/composer.phar
Execute the composer install instruction as the error message suggests. A common error is the message
Mcrypt PHP extension required
in which case you need to install the specified extension. For example, brew install php56-mcrypt on a Mac or sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt on Ubuntu.
I tried to install composer via brew per:
In usr/local/bin (which was not on Mavricks and I had to make personally) I did.
brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php
brew install josegonzalez/php/composer
I can run php composer.phar, but when I do php composer.phar install, I get the error:
Composer could not find a composer.json file in /usr/local/bin
To initialize a project, please create a composer.json file as described in the http://getcomposer.org/ "Getting Started" section
So I go to the https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md. CTRL+F ".json" and nothing's there. Seriously composer?
EDIT:
What I was trying to do was to have composer executable vs php composer.phar. This works at this point from this now.
To install composer and add to your global path:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
run these in terminal. It does say if you get an error that usr doesn't exist, you do need to manually make it. I know an answer was selected, so this is for anyone who may see this in the future, as i am sometimes, and don't want to be advised to visit yet another site. Its simple just two lines, might have to be in sudo if you have permission error
You are in wrong directory. cd to your project directory then run composer update.
In my case, I did not copy all project files to the folder where I was running composer install. So do:
Copy your project files (including the composer.json) to folder
open CMD (I am using ConEmu), navigate to the new folder, run composer install from there
It should work or throw errors in case the json file is not correct.
If you just want to make composer run, create a new composer.json file with for example:
{
"require": {
"php": ">=5.3.2"
}
}
Then run composer install.
The "Getting Started" page is the introduction to the documentation. Most documentation will start off with installation instructions, just like Composer's do.
The page that contains information on the composer.json file is located here - under "Basic Usage", the second page.
I'd recommend reading over the documentation in full, so that you gain a better understanding of how to use Composer. I'd also recommend removing what you have and following the installation instructions provided in the documentation.
I encountered the same error, and was able to solve it as follows:
composer diagnose to see if something is wrong with the version of composer installed
composer self-update to install the latest version
composer update to update your composer.json file.
Simple solution is install via this command :
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
To install package it's very simple :
composer global require "phpunit/php-invoker=1.1.*"
Ref : composer web site.
In my case, I am using homestead. cd ~/Homesteadand run composer install.
You could try updating the composer:
sudo composer self-update
If that doest works remove composer files & then use:
SSH into terminal & type :
$ cd ~
$ sudo curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer
If you face an error that says: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ErrorException' with message 'proc_open(): fork failed - Cannot allocate memory' in phar
/bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.1 bs=1M count=1024
/sbin/mkswap /var/swap.1
/sbin/swapon /var/swap.1
To install package use:
composer global require "package-name"
In my case I'm in wrong directory,
My directory Path
eCommerce-shop/eCommerce
I am in inside eCommerce-shop and executing this command composer intsall so that't it throwing this error.
If you forget to run:
php artisan key:generate
You would be face this error : Composer could not find a composer.json
2 things to notice; (i did mistake and corrected with step2)
might be wrong path of compose.json in docker file. ex; if your compose.json file is not in root of repo.
OR
if using any tools to build image, specify relevant path in context.
Create a file called composer.json
Make sure the Composer can write in the directory you are looking for.
Update your composer.
This worked for me
Ok, so I have a composer.json file, a composer.lock file, and a composer.phar file. All the info I need to install Zend Framework I believe is in the .json file, however I have no idea what I'm doing with composer, and have no idea how to use the .phar file. If someone out there can help me out, I would be super great-full. I've been reading tutorials, and watching videos but I'm fairly new to the technical side of php. I've never worked with libraries, or command prompts, so this is all WAY over head.
Here is a start:
http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
Step one: Download composer.phar
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Step Two:
$ php composer.phar install
That will download all the file dependencies outlined in the composer.json file.
A couple notes:
Above assumes you are using a bash prompt (Linux or cygwin on windows) If your not using linux you can download composer.phar from getcomposer.org.
You have php in your system path meaning that when you type php in your command line it will run the php executable/binary.
