Could not open input file: /Users/me/composer.phar - After running source ~/.bash_profile.save

this is giving me a headache. Simply trying to install laravel 4.

So, installed composer fine and it runs correctly. The issue is that when i tryed to install laravel i was recieving this error:

- laravel/framework v4.2.9 requires php >=5.4.0 -> no matching package found.

So, I checked the PHP version that terminal was using and using:

which php

gave me the usr/local/bin location and then php -v showed that was 5.3 php.

So, following some instructions I edited the .bash_profile.save so that the path was now:

alias composer='php ~/composer.phar'
export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.14/bin:$PATH
^R

I then ran:

source ~/.bash_profile.save

And then again which php.

This showed the correct path BUT... when trying to use composer i recieved this error:

Could not open input file: /Users/me/composer.phar

So now im stuck. Is it because of the alias composer line? Where should that now be pointed?

Thanks, just want to get on with laravel... :)

Just get this composer.phar in the composer web site and put it in the same place where you have composer.json; this is all you need.

https://getcomposer.org/download/1.2.0/composer.phar

You need to have composer in that directory below

mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

And not in your user account's root
