Mac doesn't recognise composer

Install it manually from https://getcomposer.org

Download it and do this command to move it (may need sudo)

<sudo> mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Results in

~ » composer -V
Composer version b33da336ecb7f1c9b15a57285e5a9f09cf5f3dd2 2014-09-30 15:28:01

I done that, but it give me the same problem, thanks for your help, do you have any others idea?

Yeah that was just to install it manually without brew, better to not use that for composer.

As for the error, I believe it's something missing in composer.json? Are you using https://www.npmjs.org/package/gulp-phpspec ?

I removed the composer from brew list and keep it only the composer installed manually, yes I use that plugin. It was working perfect on my previous Ubuntu OS. I really don't understand why running phpspec from my Mac terminal give me that error. Even if I run only phpspec run give me the same problem

What else may try? I'm still a noob with Mac

Could be missing the path

Check echo $PATH or $path

~ » echo $PATH
/usr/local/php5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin


~ » echo $path
/usr/local/php5/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin

Thanks, doing echo $PATH this is the output:

echo $PATH
/usr/local/Cellar/php56/5.6.0/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5­.5.14/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

doing echo $path nothing come out

Should I change it like the your one?

no, just make sure that the location of your composer is in the path!

@keevitaja thanks but, my composer is in this path /usr/local/bin/composer which path of the many I see in my output it should stay?

You're all set as /usr/local/bin/ is in your PATH!

I am not sure about $path ver $PATH

@keevitaja Thanks again, but I didn't get it yet sorry :(. If i run composer everywhere in my terminal it is working, it show me the list of all the commands, I can even do composer update on my project. When i run phpspec come out this issue, so i cannot execute my tests automatically

$path is probably ZSH specific. You doing the command on VM or local?

Not sure otherwise...

I run gulp test or phpspec locally not In my VM

So what does composer install return?

wow thanks it bring me a step forward, composer install throw me an exception:

Mcrypt PHP extension required.
Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-install-cmd event returned with an error



  [RuntimeException]  
  Error Output:       

So i googled on how to install Mcrypt php extension on mac and it needs to change a lots configuration files, when in ubuntu i could do just sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt and I done. Now there is a way more quick to do that in mac? something like brew view point?

This means Mac os doesn't point to your correct php bin. If you've MAMP installed add that path to your $PATH. You shouldn't have that error if you run it from the VM though.

Something like:

export MAMP_PHP=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.14/bin
export PATH="$MAMP_PHP:$PATH"
