无法以正确的方式在OS X Yosemite上安装composer

Question

I'm following this tutorial. I need to install Laravel but I can not get pass through Composer.

Running a line like curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php is relatively easy.

I also moved it: sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer. I have added the PATH (export PATH="$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin”) by editing my .bash_profile, but no results. I can't get it to work.

Is there anyone who knows how to install composer properly?

Answer 1

Did you execute command?

export ~/.bash_profile

after editing this file (also reboot can be as alternative)? Of course as quick hack you can use either php ~/.composer/vendor/bin/composer or write hardcoded alias in ~/.bash_profile:

alias composer="~/.composer/vendor/bin/composer"

and after editing do not forget to execute export ~/.bash_profile

also check permissions if your current user can execute this file
