am trying to install composer on my windows 8.1 and its giving these errors

The PHP exe file you specified did not run correctly [exit code 1]:
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.5.12\php.exe

Go to command prompt and type
Install composer

proxy20:
Go to command prompt and type
Install composer

Will try it

Hasn't anyone used composer here before ni

On windows it should be php composer.phar install unless you are on UNIX environment

Download composer set up and go to command prompt (and)

Type

Composer install

Make sure u are connected to internet
Type
php artisan

To see all command

artisan that's a Laravel command and you're assuming he has artisan in his usr/bin/ clearly u are either a mac/Linux dev user but he's using windows so that won't work.


1. Make sure you've added php.exe to the PATH variable, am assuming you know how to do this

2. go to composer folder like my screenshot

3. try php composer.phar -h ignore sudo unless you are on mac or linux


But the main check should to try running php -i first in command line and see what you get

How can this be possible when the composer hasn't installed, a folder can't be created, I Dowloaded the setup and just double clicked the icon to install

It means you are doing it wrong dhtml and I said all you need is the composer.phar meaning you have to download a PHP archive file, I have never seen a composer setup exe before. Get the composer.phar before anything that's why I sent a screenshot

I downloaded the setup not using command Prompt To download composer. Check you will see the setup in installation guide.

My global method for me won't work for you guys because I am using Linux I don't know how to do that in windows that's why I dropped local method

Just saw the global method forget the installation and follow the manual route. Once you added the system path remember to close and open command prompt again

You have to install composer


Composer install

Then you install laravel using it's installer



composer global require "laravel/installer"

wait is the guy trying to install Composer or Laravel i don't get how laravel is related to this anyway just refer to the doc on composer.org sorry about the global mode have no idea about that on Win

same here, KDE Plasma is way better than Unity, it comes with all the essential apps you need unlike Unity and it's easy to use the Plasma Ui compared to unity and that means you get Qt libraries already. i love it alot

I'm kinda stuck to Ubuntu due to LTS amongst other reasons plus I use gtk and gnome for GUI PHP CLI programs.

Lol you don't wanna know how many times i've messed up my distro just by switching to the lastest version i will advice to chill on LTS not worth the headache

this is f**ckin crazy. Non of you has really given the op a reasonable solution.

@op, dont you take time to see requirements?

System Requirements
Composer requires PHP 5.3.2+ to run. A few sensitive php settings and compile flags are also required, but when using the installer you will be warned about any incompatibilities.

^^^that is not complete either, what the f^ck? you came in here like a cowboy, but sorry, you have just got shot
