zsh: command not found laravel

I'm a newbie when it comes to Linux administration using bash... I was following a tutorial on how to install laravel 5.2 from here... installed it successfully...

firstly I installed composer and ran the following command

composer global require "laravel/installer"

after this put this in my path too in ~/.zshrc like this

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

When I run the laravel command from the terminal I get the following error

➜  ~ laravel 
zsh: command not found: laravel

If I echo $PATH it shows it have added up in the path

Note: I have installed oh my zsh on my terminal...

What do I have to do to get it working please help

On macOS and Ubuntu 22.04 with zsh (Oh My ZSH!).

Add Laravel cli with composer :

composer global require laravel/installer

edit : ~/.zshrc

add to file :

export PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

run:

source ~/.zshrc

Make sure that you've PHP and Composer installed on your system:

Open a new terminal shell, navigate to your project's directory and run the following command:

echo -n 'export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"' << ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc

If it errors asking for permissions run this:

sudo !!

This will run the previous command with sudo appended to it.

If your machines using: laravel@version{5,6,7}.x, running: shell PHP >= 7.2.5

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel demoblog

Alternatively, these instructions may serve you well.

Try to do this:

export PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

I think ZSH won't expand the ~ on PATH. Try this in your .zshrc file instead:

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

For Linux:

make sure you fully add the path to composer to your system path

export PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

or better still edit the .zshrc file as below

echo "PATH=\"$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH\"" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Put this to .zshrc file:

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

And make sure you run:

source ~/.zshrc

I too was getting the same error while creating a new Laravel project using composer but anything mentioned about the path didn't solved it and a simple trick help to resolve this issue.

Try to run this command on the terminal of your project folder :

composer global require laravel/installer

Try to do this:

macOS:

$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin

Windows:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin

GNU / Linux Distributions:

$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin or $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin

My solution was:

echo "PATH=\"$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH\"" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Then type laravel

When you run command laravel in your terminal, you call the laravel file inside composer/vendor/bin directory.

If none of the above works, then find where your vendor dir is by running:

composer global about

you will see something like: "Changed current directory to /home/username/.config/composer".

That means that your vendor dir is located in that path. Then add an alias in .zshrc file:

alias laravel="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin/laravel".

Now you are pointing to the 'laravel' file in your filesys using the same command as you would normally.

or you can add composer to your path: export PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH", which is the recomended way.

As a follow up to Chris' answer,

The command export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH" will work, but only for your current terminal session.

If you would like the path to always be available when zsh launches, add PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH" to the bottom of your ~/.zshrc file. Run the zsh command or restart your terminal and laravel will be available in every session you start.

I got the same problem on macOS Sierra. Edit your .zshrc file with

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

That worked for me.
