The path  usr local bin composer is not in your PATH  executables in that folder won t be found   Delete the folder  usr local bin composer  then run    mv composer phar  usr local bin composer   This moves composer phar into  usr local bin  and renames it into composer  which is still an executable  not a folder    Then just use it like     composer

Globally install Composer on OS X 10 11 El Capitan  This command will NOT work in OS X 10 11   curl -sS https   getcomposer org installer   sudo php -- --install-dir  usr bin --filename composer    Instead  let s write to the  usr local bin path for the user   curl -sS https   getcomposer org installer   sudo php -- --install-dir  usr local bin --filename composer   Now we can access the composer command globally  just like before

Composer is avialble and install the packages in the global path but they are not available in the shell  Mac in my case  I managed to fix this by adding the global bin to the path at my bash file  Steps  First  check what is your home directory by typing in the shell  cd   pwd  this will tell you the home path The next step is to verify that composer set the global directory there  ls -al  composer  If you got list of files that s mean composer set up the directory  if not - look above or in the documentation  The next step is to edit the bash profile  Mine is    bash profile but other can    zshrc  If you don t have any one like this try to see how to set up aliases and place the the code in aliases file  PATH  quot YOUR HOME PATH  composer vendor bin   PATH  quot  export PATH  That s it  just reload the file with source PATH TO FILE  And you good to go

On Mac OS X  for anyone having      -bash   usr local bin composer  Permission denied   problem  while trying to move downloaded composer phar using   mv composer phar  usr local bin composer   this is the cause   System Integrity Protection  and this is the solution    Reboot in recovery mode  restart you mac and hold down cmd R  Open the terminal once recovery mode has started via Utilities Terminal via the bar at the top  Type in csrutil disable and hit enter  You should see a msg returned saying that      the System Integrity Protection is off   Restart the computer as normal and then go set up composer  I had to put it in  usr bin and NOT  usr local bin because for some reason it just didn t work there  Go back to recovery mode and enable System Integrity Protector by typing csrutil enable Come back in normal boot up and check that composer works  It did for me    The above 6 steps are copied from here  so all the credit belongs to the user Vasheer there
