OSX -bash: composer: command not found

Question

If i type \"composer\" i get the above error message.

I did on my macbook:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo mv composer.phar /us         


        

Answer 1

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 ...
