zsh: command not found: laravel

[dingo-d]

I installed valet, and followed the documentation, composer is in my $PATH, everything is ok. But when I try to run

laravel new blog

I get

zsh: command not found: laravel

In my .zshrc I have

export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

And when I echo $PATH I have

/Users/dingo-d/.composer/vendor/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/Users/dingo-d/wpcs/vendor/bin:/Users/dingo-d/.rbenv/shims:/Users/dingo-d/.rbenv/bin:/Users/dingo-d/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin

I restarted terminal, mac, everything I could google, but cannot see what could be wrong.

All the commands in the terminal are working (composer and valet), I have successfully parked the folder Sites and when I type valet paths I get

[
    "/Users/infinum/Sites"
]

The composer version is 1.5.1, valet version is 2.0.5, php is 7.1.8 and the OS X is version 10.12.6.

I also have VVV installed but it's stopped.

Any ideas why it isn't running?

It would seem as though perhaps you're expecting the Laravel Installer to be present on your computer, but haven't installed it.

composer global require laravel/installer

The Laravel Installer is completely separate from Laravel Valet. You can find documentation on using the Laravel Installer in the Laravel documentation.

Oh I thought that valet pulls it, and I had bunch of laravel packages listed when I did composer show --all, my bad. Thanks for the help!

[drbyte]

Better is to run: composer global show to list all that are installed on your local computer.

[dingo-d]

Cool, didn't know that :D Thanks 👍

Also just an FYI, this is not a valet issue.

[dingo-d]

Well it happened while I was trying to set up valet, so I thought that I'd ask here ;)

I have this problem, however, laravel works fine while valet does not. I have already installed valet as per documentation. Running valet returns sudo: /Users/myuser: command not found

I have this in my .zshrc for composer:

export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

Had this exact same problem and the fix was the same as @drbyte said, the only change was using require instead of install: composer global require laravel/installer. This is because the valet install documentation doesn't state to do this, so every user who didn't install laravel beforehand is going to have this problem. The docs should be updated to state this.

[drbyte]

@MiguelDebruyne The Laravel Installer is completely separate from Laravel Valet. You can find documentation on using the Laravel Installer in the Laravel documentation.

It is not necessary to install the Laravel Installer in order to run Valet. Nor is it necessary to install Valet to use the Laravel Installer.

My solution was:

• Add PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH" at end of ~/.zshrc
• source ~/.zshrc
• type laravel and be happy =)

My solution was:

* Add `PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"` at end of `~/.zshrc`

* `source ~/.zshrc`

* type `laravel` and be happy =)

worked well for me. Looking for this almost two days now

As of now (2023) the locations of composer executables may have changed. So instead use:

export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH
source ~/.zshrc
laravel

If your a Manjaro user 'PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"' works correctly test 3 times above does work on Ubuntu and other deb based distros
