Composer Command Not Found

Question

From within the directory holding my composer phar file  I can t execute any composer commands    I can see Composer is running when I execute  php composer phar    But any direct composer statements fail    Not sure if it matters but Composer was included within a cloned repository   I just want to install a single Oauth library  then likely not touch Composer again for several months  so I don t need to run it globally  I m just confused why I can t run Composer from within this directory

This problem arises when you have composer installed locally. To make it globally executable,run the below command in terminal

sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

For CentOS 7 the command is

sudo mv composer.phar /usr/bin/composer

First I did alias setup on bash   zsh profile   alias composer  php  usr local bin composer phar    Then I  moved composer phar to  usr local bin   cd  usr local bin mv composer phar composer   Then made composer executable by running  sudo chmod  x composer

Your composer phar command lacks the flag for executable  or it is not inside the path   The first problem can be fixed with chmod  x composer phar  the second by calling it as   composer phar -v   You have to prefix executables that are not in the path with an explicit reference to the current path in Unix  in order to avoid going into a directory that has an executable file with an innocent name that looks like a regular command  but is not  Just think of a cat in the current directory that does not list files  but deletes them   The alternative  and better  fix for the second problem would be to put the composer phar file into a location that is mentioned in the path

MacOS  composer is available on brew now  Tested on Php7     brew install composer   Install instructions on the Composer Docs page are quite to the point otherwise
