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

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.
