To install Composer, follow the instructions for your operating system. If you’re unfamiliar with Vagrant and Homestead, this post will clear things up, and if you’d like to dive deeper, this book will reveal some wild mysteries to you. Note that if you use an environment like Homestead Improved, it’s installed globally by default. Because Composer is such a useful and widespread tool, I always recommend installing it globally, as you’ll probably be working on more than one project at once. It leaves permissions as they are (conservative) and only uses raised privileges for system maintenance jobs like installation and upgrade.There are two ways of installing Composer: locally and globally. The last option is the typically chosen and preferred one.

use the sudo utility to install and update the composer utility.

change the groups ownership of the directory to a group that account is a member of and make the directory group writeable.

add the account that is meant to execute the composer to the group root (a user account can belong to several groups) and make the directory group writeable.

Instead think about one of these approaches: You should not make your own user account the owner, Linux systems are multi user environments.

There is no reason for that and it makes your system vulnerable.Īccording to the line you posted in the last comment the directory is currently writeable only for the root user himself. The process has to write both, the file and into the directory which both must be granted.Īpart from that, a general hint: do not always set everything to 777.

You should check the permissions of the directory /usr/local/bin/, not just the file within.
