bash: laravel: command not found

Question

I am Using my own Machine Kali Linux 2.0 Debian x64 . Now, i have Installed Laravel in my directory structure like /opt/lampp/htdocs/learning-larvel/

Inside the Learning-laravel folder i have Installed my Laravel files, and also i installed composer. So when i go to http://127.0.0.1/learning-laravel/public . I see a See a White Screen and in Between it is written "Laravel 5", which means the Laravel GUI Setup is fine.

Now, to create a new file for Laravel, when i open my Terminal and type laravel new xyz then it gives me a error which says bash: laravel: command not found

Now, how can i fix the error.. I have researched about it by setting PATH to bashrc. But i am not getting it fixed right. Additionally when i type in my command composer -version then also it says bash: composer: command not found but i have Installed composer on the folder learning-laravel itself. I could also see files like composer.phar there in /opt/lampp/htdocs/learning-larvel/

Any help would be extremely thankful.

what new file for laravel? if you have laravel installed, php artisan is the cli command to interact with it. — lagbox

@lagbox I meant in General that if i type the command laravel then it shows me Command not found. The command laravel new file is command to make a New File through CLI which is what i saw in this video of Devdojo youtube.com/watch?v=--9I5wqXgUM Check the first 1 min of the Video. — Yada Rahall

you have to fix your composer issue first.. you should run it as php composer.phar ... — jovani

no that command creates a new project. have you downloaded the laravel installer ? — lagbox

Also ensure to add composer to your PATH, bashrc is the best place — Emeka Mbah

As the composer official getting started page points out:

There are in short, two ways to install Composer. Locally as part of your project, or globally as a system wide executable.

if you wanna do composer -- or laravel -- in command line, you wanna install them globally.

Check out the following links:

Thanks, i installed composer globally now. So when i type composer --version in my Terminal it gives me Version. But when i went to Laravel Documentation which you provided and i ran the command composer create-project laravel/laravel {directory} 4.2 --prefer-dist and it shows it got installed succesfully and then i ran laravel --version then it shows me again "Bash command Laravel not found". Any method to get over it please?

Hashbug Over a year ago

That's prob because laravel is still not installed globally. composer create-project is used to create new projects from an existing package. You should prob use composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1". Also checkout: getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#create-project

Yada Rahall Over a year ago

As per you told, i have ran the Command composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1 as mentioned in those documentation, it fetched all the Repos/ files . But again, when i type simply laravel in my Terminal. It shows command not Found, so do you think, i should install it's PATH as Environmental Variable. ? Because i tried export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin" too in Bashrc . But problems is the same :(

Hashbug Over a year ago

Yeah, I would def check the environmental variable path. Also, this is mentioned in the laravel docs. "Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH so the laravel executable can be located by your system." I suggest you check again if your PATH is correct, and it's correctly set, by entering echo "$PATH". Also, to make these changes permanent, you should add that to your ~/.bash_profile file. echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin' >> ~/.bash_profile

Hashbug Over a year ago

Then it's not correctly set. Try this: echo 'export PATH="$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc, after that you wanna reload .bashrc source ~/.bashrc. The output of echo $PATH should look something like this /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/web/bin:~/.composer/vendor/bin , with ~/.composer/vendor/bin in it

I encountered the same problem. Apparently, the composer exists in path ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin when running as super user. Therefore, replacing the paths which were described above by this, and it should work. Hope it helps.
