Stuck on Homestead installation

@Nick385 Run composer global require "laravel/homestead=~2.0"

And then make sure ~/.composer/vendor/bin is in your $PATH. Add the following to your ~/.bashrc file (or equivalent).

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

On a side note, take a look at http://bit.do/laracasts-guidelines for guidelines when asking questions on here, particularly the formatting code, just so it is more readable for us :D

When i run it i get this response:

$ composer global require "laravel/homestead=~2.0" No command 'composer' found, did you mean: Command 'compose' from package 'mime-support' (main) composer: command not found

Then you need to mv composer: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

It doesn't sound like you installed it globally if you're getting that response.

where to? because i though composer was global just like homestead

Thats what i get in terminal

With certifacate i run 1 part then the part behind |

What is that certificate?

i get that after i run this: curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer

That clearly isn't right. Try this instead:

php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php

i instal everything in home folder by default can that be it? homstead in there 2

nick@nick-MS-7366 ~ $ php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php #!/usr/bin/env php All settings correct for using Composer Downloading...

Composer successfully installed to: /home/nick/composer.phar Use it: php composer.phar

Please delete the previous post with all the certificates, it just gets in the way. Also, instead of adding new replies (when no one else has replied since) just edit your previous post.

Now that you've downloaded it, you can just run composer.phar

Also please look at these guidelines for when you're posting on here. Just a little FYI.

Composer successfully installed to: /home/nick/composer.phar Use it: php composer.phar

Is that the right folder for it?

What OS are you running?

Linux mint 17 clean install second time around :P

I'm not sure, but there's no reason why you can't just run it from where it is.

I guess you could move it to /bin or something.

Update

http://tecadmin.net/install-php-composer-in-linux/

I found the yaml file in the terminal but not i need to edit it:

http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/homestead bash init.sh The Homestead.yaml file will be placed in your ~/.homestead directory.

Configure Your Provider

The provider key in your Homestead.yaml file indicates which Vagrant provider should be used: virtualbox, vmware_fusion (Mac OS X) or vmware_workstation (Windows). You may set this to whichever provider you prefer.

provider: virtualbox

nick@nick-MS-7366 ~ $ cd ~/.homestead nick@nick-MS-7366 ~/.homestead $ ls after.sh aliases Homestead.yaml nick@nick-MS-7366 ~/.homestead $ Homestead.yaml

Have you edited it? I'm not sure whether you're asking a question or just posting your progress.

A bit of both this stil doesnt work

$ composer global require "laravel/homestead=~2.0" No command 'composer' found, did you mean: Command 'compose' from package 'mime-support' (main) composer: command not found

https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-5-fundamentals/episodes/2 t- 5:25 i dont get that when i type homestead

and i didnt edit the .yaml yet because i dont know how

Btw a really appreciate the help!!

Move the composer.phar file into a directory where your executables are stored, usually something like /bin, all the while renaming it to drop the .phar; like so:

mv composer.phar /bin/composer

You should be able to run composer now. Try it...

As for editing your Homestead.yaml file, you can do it in a standard text editor or from the command line. YAML is just text.

this is the response

$ ls composer.phar Documents Homestead Pictures Templates Desktop Downloads Music Public Videos

nick@nick-MS-7366 ~ $ mv composer.phar /bin/composer mv: cannot create regular file ‘/bin/composer’: Permission denied

nick@nick-MS-7366 ~ $ sudo mv composer.phar /bin/composer [sudo] password for nick:

nick@nick-MS-7366 ~ $ sudo mv composer.phar /bin/composer mv: cannot stat ‘composer.phar’: No such file or directory

Then you don't have a /bin directory, so either create it, or place composer.phar somewhere else that is accessible from your $PATH.

Run $PATH and post the output here.

When i go to My Computer and instead of home i go to file system i see the bin folder

That makes me think of something when i installed Mint i put the disk on ext and mounted the drive on / is that correct or did i have to mount it some where else that that's the reason why it doesn't work like it supposed to?

@Nick385 what operating system are you using? Please have a read of the Guidelines I posted above first.

Operating System: Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64-bit

Cinnamon Version: 2.4.5

Linux Kernel: 1.13.0.37

Can you run $PATH and post the output.

nick@nick-MS-7366 ~ $ $PATH bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games: No such file or directory

Well /bin does exist and is part of your $PATH

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

Then why doesn't this command work?

mv composer.phar /bin/composer
