PHP, Composer, PHP dependency manager

Question

I am starting a new PHP project, and I wanted to pull some php components such as "nesbot/carbon" using composer. But when I create a composer.json file and try to run composer install command, it downloads other files from my previous projects that I don's want.

Even when I try to run "composer install" with out having a composer.json file in an empty folder, it downloads some previous dependencies from caches. I didn't get that from where it's reading composer.json. Am stuck in the middle of project.

How can I create a fresh project with composer?

You could perhaps start by showing us your composer.json file — Mark Baker

Might sound silly, but are you sure you're running composer install from the folder you got anything inside? Maybe on the terminal you're located in a different folder with a package.json file. Could you show us what is it returned if you run ls -l from your terminal? — Gabriel G.

To create a fresh project with composer, run

$ composer init

in the root directory of that project.

For reference, see https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#init.
