I am trying to install zendframework using composer tool in wamp server.
The following steps are done towards installation
I downloaded the Composer-Setup.exe file from composer page and got successfully installed.
I downloaded the zendframework and extracted inside the c:\wamp\www\zend
folder
I executed the command for self update
php composer.phar self-update
This line generates the error message: could not open file composer.phar
how to resolve this error
If I try the
composer.phar self-update
This question is related to
php
zend-framework2
composer-php
I am using Windows 7, and I got the same problem as yours while using Composer via cmd.
The problem is solved when I use
php C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin\composer.phar create-project slim/slim-skeleton
instead of
php composer.phar create-project slim/slim-skeleton
Hope this is useful for people who got the same problem.
Another solution could be.. find the location of composer.phar file in your computer. If composer is installed successfully then it can be found in the installed directory.
Copy that location & instead of composer.phar in the command line, put the entire path there.
It also worked for me!
First try this: dont use the php composer.phar [parameters]
simply use composer [parameters]
if this doesn't work for you than try the rest. Hope it helps.
Instead of
php composer.phar create-project --repository-url="http://packages.zendframework.com" zendframework/skeleton-application path/to/install
use
php composer.phar create-project --repository-url="https://packages.zendframework.com" zendframework/skeleton-application path/to/install
Just add https
instead of http
in the URL. Though it's not a permanent solution, it does work.
dont use php composer.phar self-update
First go to Your project directory
simply use composer.phar self-update
This works for me
Try in command line:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
If you go through the documentation, they have mentioned to use php composer.phar
Link: https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#update-u
Don't use php composer.phar
only give composer
Command: composer self-update
It will work.
Use this :
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
This will install composer to the current directory so that you can use php composer.phar
Question already answered by the OP, but I am posting this answer for anyone having similar problem, retting to
Could not input open file: composer.phar
error message.
Simply go to your project directory/folder and do a
composer update
Assuming this is where you have your web application:
/Library/WebServer/Documents/zendframework
change directory to it, and then run composer update
.
I have fixed the same issue with below steps
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'the-provided-hash-code') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
Everything is working fine now because the composer.phar
file is available within the current project directory.

Initially, I was running php composer.phar self-update and got the same error message.
As a resolve, you should use composer command directly after install it.From the command prompt, just type composer and press enter.
If composer is installed correctly then you should able to see a lot of suggestion and command list from composer.
If you are up to this point then you should able to run composer self-update directly.
This is how it worked for me:
Make sure composer is installed without no errors.
Open "System Properties" on windows and go to the "Advanced" tab. (You can just press the windows button on your keyboard and type in "Edit the system environment variables`
"Environment variables"
Under "System variables" Edit "PATH"
Click on "New".
Type in: C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin\composer.phar
Close all folders & CMDs + restart you WAMP server.
Go to whatever directory you want to install a package in and type in
composer.phar create-project slim/slim-skeleton
for example.
I was trying to install YII 2.0
php composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced 2.0.0-alpha
I got the same error:
Could not open input file: composer.phar
Then i gave the full path of .phar like this:
php C:\ProgramData\Composer\bin\composer.phar create-project yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced 2.0.0-alpha
and it worked.
I had the same issue when trying to use php composer install
in a local directory on my Apache server for a laravel project I cloned from Github. My problem was I had already setup composer
globally on my Ubuntu 18 machine.
Adding sudo
instead of php
started the install of a whole slew of packages listed in the json.lock
file i.e. sudo composer install
.
