php - Composer [Mac] - Unable to use composer command on cmd

Get the solution ↓↓↓

Solution:

I would advice to use Homebrew to install/upgrade Composer (and all other software on your Mac!). It's a "default" package manager in the community at the moment.

Just install Homebrew and then — Composer

brew install composer

Answer

Solution:

There should be no/usr/local/bin/composer directory, but/usr/local/bin. So, make sure you install it correctly:

Delete the folder

$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/composer

Download it again, then move it this way:

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

Then make sure/usr/local/bin is in your path

$ echo $PATH

And you must see 

$ /usr/local/bin

If it's not in your path you'll have to add this to your .bashrc (or whatever you are using as command line):

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

And you should be good to 

composer update
