Description

When installing laravel/boost globally using composer global require laravel/boost, the installation process completes without any visible errors. However, the package is only partially installed.

Through troubleshooting, we've discovered the following:

• The main package directory is created successfully at ~/.config/composer/vendor/laravel/boost/.
• However, the executable script that should be inside it (bin/claude) is not created.
• Consequently, the symlink in the global bin directory (~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/claude) is also not created.

Running php ~/.config/composer/vendor/laravel/boost/bin/claude fails with the error Could not open input file, confirming the script is missing. This appears to be a silent installation failure where the package's executable files are not being created.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Ensure a clean state: composer global remove laravel/boost
2. Clear the cache: composer clear-cache
3. Attempt a fresh global install: composer global require laravel/boost
4. Check the global bin directory: ls -la ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin
5. Check the package's source directory: ls -la ~/.config/composer/vendor/laravel/boost/

You will observe that claude is missing from the first directory, and the bin subdirectory (containing claude) is missing from the second.

Claude is a separate project, refer to the Claude docs. This is an MCP which can be used in the claude, not an install for Claude code
