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

Tested on Mac OSX after installing via instructions on composer website:

sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Answer 2

This works on Ubuntu;

alias composer='/usr/local/bin/composer/composer.phar'

Answer 3

If you have to run composer with sudo, you should change the directory of composer to

/usr/bin

this was tested on Centos8.

Answer 4

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.
