I am using Windows 7, and I got the same problem as yours while using Composer via cmd.

If you go through the documentation, they have mentioned to use php composer.phar Link: https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#update-u

Don't use php composer.phar only give composer

Command: composer self-update

It will work.

Answer 5

Initially, I was running php composer.phar self-update and got the same error message.

As a resolve, you should use composer command directly after install it.From the command prompt, just type composer and press enter.

If composer is installed correctly then you should able to see a lot of suggestion and command list from composer.

If you are up to this point then you should able to run composer self-update directly.
