laravel is not recognized as an internal or external command

Question

I\'m trying to start laravel,

Found the following line in their tutorial:

Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH

Answer 1

For me after adding PATH to environment variables result was the same. I found me answer here

So at first you have to run in cmd

composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"

and then the message appears

" Changing directory to C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin "

and after that you can run your command. For example

laravel new blog

Answer 2

Use correct path to the Composer bin directory.

Good:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin

Bad:

~/.composer/vendor/bin

Answer 3

First, use:

composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"

Then, you can try again.

laravel new project

Answer 4

For Windows add

C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin 

... to directory by going to "My Computer" > "Properties" > "Advanced" > "Environment > Variables" > "Path".

Note: MyUserName is your pc username .

Restart your PC and it would work

Answer 5

You need to install Laravel using

composer global require laravel/installer

Otherwise, even adding it to PATH won't help.
