mac-php-composer-setup.md

Firstly install Brew on your MAC

• ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Then install PHP

• brew update
• brew tap homebrew/dupes
• brew tap homebrew/php
• brew install php56
• brew install composer

to test installation, runs:

$ composer -V

Composer version 1.1.2 2016-05-31 19:48:11

@JohnnyWalkerDesign .. you may be on a work machine working on a legacy app that is running on an older version.

Always good use Bash's && command.

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" && brew update && brew tap homebrew/dupes && brew tap homebrew/php && brew install php71 && brew install composer && composer -V

I see this warning, is it ok?

Warning: homebrew/dupes was deprecated. This tap is now empty as all its formulae were migrated.

Works fine for me!

@lacivert they are now managed inside homebrew-core

@JoaoGFarias Works fine for me!

just what I was looking for. Thanks

How exactly is this done with a Windows 10 PC?

The homebrew/dupes tap was deprecated and its formulae migrated.

@nic9075 see http://kizu514.com/blog/install-php7-and-composer-on-windows-10/

Now it's simple as brew install php composer.

Now it's simple as brew install php composer.

On Macbook:

brew install [email protected]

I was installing composer using brew.

But I am having this error:

Do You have any advice?

Thanks a lot

This Worked for me 😇
You need to edit bash_profile

1. nano ~/.bash_profile
2. Copy/paste export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH
3. Then run source ~/.bash_profile

should the composer be installed in the project folder or the server folder.
for example, if I am using WAMP64 as a local host inside the www folder of I have my project should I install it in the WAMP64 folder or the project folder like perfect cup
