Laravel - Generating composer.json and artisan files?

I downlaod composer.phar and move to /usr/local/bin/ directory as composer, then I download laravel with

composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"

After I linked laravel to /usr/local/bin/ , I run "laravel new test" and I get

Composer could not find a composer.json file in /home/user/test To initialize a project, please create a composer.json file as described in the http://getcomposer.org/ "Getting Started" section

So laravel doesn't generate composer.json and artisan files Can you help why?

Edit
I was going to format PC for some reasons. After I had formatted PC, I did above steps again and it worked.

laravel new hello

is working now

you should link your laravel to \composer\vendor\bin folder. After downloading the laravel installer run this command

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

and then run your laravel command.

If you want to install Laravel at current folder. You don't use global:

composer require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
