zsh: command not found laravel

Question

I'm a newbie when it comes to Linux administration using bash... I was following a tutorial on how to install laravel 5.2 from here ... installed it successfully...

firstly I installed composer and ran the following command

composer global require "laravel/installer"

after this put this in my path too in ~/.zshrc like this

export PATH="~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

When I run the laravel command from the terminal I get the following error

➜  ~ laravel 
zsh: command not found: laravel

If I echo $PATH it shows it have added up in the path

Note: I have installed oh my zsh on my terminal...

What do I have to do to get it working please help

Answer 1

I think ZSH won't expand the ~ on PATH . Try this instead:

export PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

Answer 2

尝试这样做：

export PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

Answer 3

As a follow up to Chris' answer,

The command export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH" will work , but only for your current terminal session .

If you would like the path to always be available when zsh launches, add PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH" to the bottom of your ~/.zshrc file. Run the zsh command or restart your terminal and laravel will be available in every session you start.

Answer 4

I got the same problem on macOS Sierra. Edit your .zshrc file with

PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

That worked for me.

Answer 5

On Ubuntu 20.04 with zsh (Oh My ZSH!) and macos.

add Laravel cli with composer: composer global require laravel/installer

edit ~/.zshrc

add

export PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

run:

source ~/.zshrc

Answer 6

就我而言，我在结束文件 '.zshrc' 上添加了以下行：

export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

Answer 7

I'm using ZSH and this is work for me:

export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

Answer 8

My solution was:

echo "PATH=\"$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH\"" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

• Then type laravel

Answer 9

cd 进入项目目录并运行composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Answer 10

When you run command laravel in your terminal, you call the laravel file inside composer/vendor/bin directory.

If none of the above works, then find where your vendor dir is by running:

composer global about

you will see something like: "Changed current directory to /home/username/.config/composer".

That means that your vendor dir is located in that path. Then add an alias in .zshrc file:

alias laravel="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin/laravel" .

Now you are pointing to the 'laravel' file in your filesys using the same command as you would normally.

or you can add composer to your path: export PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH" , which is the recomended way.

Answer 11

For Linux:

---

make sure you fully add the path to composer to your system path

export PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

or better still edit the .zshrc file as below

echo "PATH=\"$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH\"" >> ~/.zshrc source ~/.zshrc

Answer 12

Try to do this:

macOS:

$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin

Windows:

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

GNU / Linux Distributions:

$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin or $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin

Answer 13

I too was getting the same error while creating a new Laravel project using composer but anything mentioned about the path didn't solved it and a simple trick help to resolve this issue.

Try to run this command on the terminal of your project folder :

composer global require laravel/installer

Answer 14

Put this to .zshrc file:

export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

And make sure you run:

source ~/.zshrc
