Where and how can I run composer commands?

I'm kinda lost with Composer and the documentation isnt really helping me. I bascially want to install Laravel but I dont know where I need to run the commands and how.

I've installed composer via the exe on a windows PC that runs XAMPP.

For Example this command:

composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"

How can I run this command? In the windows console? And does it matter where?

Go to htdocs folder and right click on mouse then you will see one option called

use composer here click on that then cmd will open enter image description here

then you can use composer commands like

composer create-project laravel/laravel

this will create laravel setup.

To perform other commands like compose install

composer update

php artisan commands

you need to right click on project and use composer here then only you can perform composer install,composer update, php artisan and all .

You should actually go with a good console on windows. Try gitbash. (https://msysgit.github.io/) It has one of the best consoles.

If you still want to use composer from cmd, just type composer and it will work (provided you have set correct path).
