Now I remember why I never got into PHP. It's such a pain to set up. I spent a couple hours today trying to complete a coding challenge which required me to install Composer, Vagrant, VirtualBox and Laravel.
Somewhere along the line I think my permissions or something changed, because whenever I try to install Laravel...
composer global require "laravel/installer"
I get...
Changed current directory to /home/dilraj/.composer
[ErrorException]
file_put_contents(./composer.json): failed to open stream: Permission denied
require [--dev] [--prefer-source] [--prefer-dist] [--no-progress] [--no-suggest] [--no-update] [--no-scripts] [--update-no-dev] [--update-with-dependencies] [--ignore-platform-reqs] [--prefer-stable] [--prefer-lowest] [--sort-packages] [-o|--optimize-autoloader] [-a|--classmap-authoritative] [--apcu-autoloader] [--] [<packages>]...
I am not sure why I am getting this, perhaps it is because I have already done it, but regardless, when I try to create an executable command I am not seeing any results.
I edited the .bashrc file, as such...
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin
source ~/.bashrc
I am not going to lie, I don't what this is even doing. I just want to make it so I can type 'laravel' and then start doing stuff, kinda like in npm.
Here are other things I tried but succeeded without any luck :(
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin"
alias laravel='~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/laravel'
