Update Laravel Installer Version

I am trying to install spark 2.0. The documentation indicates that I should make sure my version of the Laravel installer is >= 1.3.4. Running laravel -V tells me that my current version of the installer is 1.3.3.

I tried to run composer global update which tells me there is nothing to update. I also tried removing the installer and running composer global require "laravel/installer". Doing this indicates that version 1.3.4 is being installed, but when I run laravel -V again, it is still at version 1.3.3. Does anyone know how to get version 1.3.4 to install?

I got the same thing when I did a composer global update "laravel/installer"

It looked like it updated, but when I did a laravel -v it said Laravel Installer version 1.3.3 so I did a.... which laravel /Users/myhome/.composer/vendor/bin/laravel ... so now i start exploring...

then i did a ... cd /Users/myhome/.composer/vendor/laravel/installer/ then vi laravel changed 1.3.3 to 1.3.4...saved the file then did a

laravel -V
Laravel Installer version 1.3.4

I'm not sure if this is correct so someone else would have to confirm. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php

if (file_exists(__DIR__.'/../../autoload.php')) {
    require __DIR__.'/../../autoload.php';

}

$app = new Symfony\Component\Console\Application('Laravel Installer', '1.3.3');
$app->add(new Laravel\Installer\Console\NewCommand);
