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  amp  instead of composer phar in the command line  put the entire path there   It also worked for me

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

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  quot System Properties quot  on windows and go to the  quot Advanced quot  tab   You can just press the windows button on your keyboard and type in  quot Edit the system environment variables    quot Environment variables quot   Under  quot System variables quot  Edit  quot PATH quot   Click on  quot New quot    Type in  C  ProgramData ComposerSetup bin composer phar  Close all folders  amp  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
