Question

Could not open input file: composer.phar

Any suggestions ?

Answer 1

Make sure of composer work correctly.

php composer.phar -v

Try

php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.1.1"

Answer 2

I know probably you've figured it out by now but still I want to help. Make your composer.phar global so you can access it from anywhere. You can set path in environment variables or you can give direct path like below:

php C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin\composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-basic basic

Note : I'm using Windows 8.1 and composer is installed in C directory.

First of all install composer in your system Like windows system. you can download composer from this url https://getcomposer.org/download/ . after install composer you can go to C:\\composer check files for composer.phar and composer.bat files then copy both files and goto C:\\xampp\\php paste both files here and restart xampp then after that you can install yii2
