Where do I find Composer json file?

The "Getting Started" page is the introduction to the documentation. Most documentation will start off with installation instructions, just like Composer's do. The page that contains information on the composer. json file is located here - under "Basic Usage", the second page.

How do I fix Composer not found?

If reinstalling Composer using official commands doesn't work, you may try directly running composer-setup. php with the default --install-dir and --filename argument. The composer-setup. php can be downloaded from https://getcomposer.org/installer.


I tried to install composer via brew per:

In usr/local/bin (which was not on Mavricks and I had to make personally) I did.

brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php brew install josegonzalez/php/composer

I can run php composer.phar, but when I do php composer.phar install, I get the error:

Composer could not find a composer.json file in /usr/local/bin To initialize a project, please create a composer.json file as described in the http://getcomposer.org/ "Getting Started" section

So I go to the https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md. CTRL+F ".json" and nothing's there. Seriously composer?

EDIT: What I was trying to do was to have composer executable vs php composer.phar. This works at this point from this now.
