the reason why i posted that question here instead of aimeos forum because i think it is some kind of composer issue

Answer 1

If you didn't add it to your path it won't be found. Most (all?) packages installed via composer have their exec's in the vendor/bin folder. phing is no exception to this.

Assuming you're on Linux you need to run

./vendor/bin/phing

from inside your project folder.
