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

To put this folder on the PATH environment variable type  export PATH   PATH  HOME  composer vendor bin    This appends the folder to your existing PATH  however  it is only active for your current terminal session   If you want it to be automatically set  it depends on the shell you are using  For bash  you can append this line to  HOME  bashrc using your favorite editor or type the following on the shell  echo  export PATH   PATH  HOME  composer vendor bin    gt  gt     bashrc   In order to check if it worked  logout and login again or execute  source    bashrc   on the shell   PS  For other systems where there is no    bashrc  you can also put this into    bash profile  PSS  For more recent laravel you need to put  HOME  config composer vendor bin on the PATH   PSSS  If you want to put this folder on the path also for other shells or on the GUI  you should append the said export command to    profile  cf  https   help ubuntu com community EnvironmentVariables
