The Composer bin directory is set and stored in bin-dir config variable and can be different depending on your setup  Running the command composer global config bin-dir --absolute will tell you the absolute path to your global composer bin directory  Using this command you can modify your  bash profile to add it to your PATH exactly how it is configured      Add Composer bin-dir to PATH if it is installed  command -v composer  gt  dev null 2 gt  amp 1  amp  amp            COMPOSER BIN DIR   composer global config bin-dir --absolute 2 gt   dev null          PATH   PATH  COMPOSER BIN DIR     export PATH
