'Laravel "valet install" not found

I am trying to set up Laravels Valet (Valet is a Laravel development environment for Mac). Everything works until it comes to the command "valet install". This command must be executed in terminal. But I got the error "command not found". Any ideas, why? Do I have to update my PATH or something else?

I switched to OS X a few days ago. Before that, I was a windows user. So I am a total newbie.

laravel composer-php

If you're getting the error message "valet: command not found", it's likely that PHP's Composer is not in your PATH variable, for instance:

$ valet install
-bash: valet: command not found

You can confirm if Laravel Valet was successfully installed by running the following command:

ls -al ~/.composer/vendor/bin/valet

If successfull, you'll see the symlink for Valet in Composer's bin directory pointing to Laravel in the vendor directory:

~/.composer/vendor/bin/valet@ -> ../laravel/valet/valet

To test whether your PATH is missing Composer, try running the Valet command directly:

~/.composer/vendor/bin/valet --version

If you're shown the Laravel version number, (e.g. Laravel Valet 2.0.4), this indicates Valet is installed but you need to update your PATH variable to include Composer for the valet command to work globally.

In your Terminal, execute the following command which will append Composer to your shell's PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin

For the changes to take effect, you'll need to exit and re-open your Terminal window or tab.

Alternatively, you can simply source your shell's profile, which doesn't require quitting your active session:

source ~/.bash_profile

If you have a different shell environment or you're using a shell other than Bash, you will need to source its configuration profile instead (e.g. .bashrc, .zshrc, config.fish).

Solution 2:^[2]

I'm using oh-my-zsh so:

echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

You may replace .zshrc with .bashrc

Solution 3:^[3]

Make sure that ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory is in your system's PATH, you can check this by running:

echo $PATH

If not there, open your ~/.bash_profile and add this code:

export PATH=$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin

Then run:

composer global require laravel/valet --dev

Once it is done, run:

valet install

Solution 4:^[4]

you just have to use:

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

then

valet install

ready :)

Solution 5:^[5]

If you have a fresh installation, you may not have the PATH variable contains your home path. So, adding the $HOME variable would require like the following:

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

Solution 6:^[6]

If valet install doesn’t work, but ~/.composer/vendor/bin/valet --version does work, try installing it via

~/.composer/vendor/bin/valet install

To See if that worked, check

valet --version

Solution 7:^[7]

In Ubuntu 18.04 do this:

echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Solution 8:^[8]

This command might solve your problem

test -d ~/.composer && bash ~/.composer/vendor/bin/valet install || bash ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/valet install

Solution 9:^[9]

If you're using zsh, you cannot use ~ as path to home dir, use $HOME instead.

In .zshrc file, instead of adding this:

export PATH=$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin

Add this and the path will resolve:

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

Solution 10:^[10]

with new composer installation, you need to add a new path which is

export PATH=$PATH:~/.config/composer/vendor/bin

Then you need to

chown YOUR_USERNAME ~/.config

for accessing composer packages without sudo command.

Solution 11:^[11]

I have installed Composer version 2 and found that composer default path is ~/.config/composer/ and similarly valet is also installed on /.config/composer/vendor/bin/valet. So to solve this issues I added the composer path to ~/.bashrc file as:

export PATH=$PATH:~/.config/composer/vendor/bin

Solution 12:^[12]

Add ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory to your PATH variable.

Solution 13:^[13]

For me worked

write in console

cd ~/.composer/vendor/bin
pwd
copy pwd command result
export PATH=$PATH: (pwd command result)
valet install

I think I explained well

Solution 14:^[14]

In my case I've to update /etc/profile file added

export PATH=$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin

/etc/profile

then

source ~/etc/profile

Solution 15:^[15]

I found a fix on this website, and it fixed my issue.

test -d ~/.composer && bash ~/.composer/vendor/bin/valet install || bash ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/valet install

Solution 16:^[16]

In my case I found the valet location by manual search

Then add the the valet file path to PATH variable

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc

Then I ran the install command and it worked

valet install

Solution 17:^[17]

Php may be not installed

Use your prefered version with:

brew install php
// or
brew install [email protected]
// or
brew install [email protected]

This solved my issue.
