laravel command not found setting path does not work

Question

I am have installed laravel via composer using the following procedure in my Ubuntu 17.04 running on the latest Oracle Virtualbox:

Steps:

1) composer global require "laravel/installer"

2) nano .bashrc

3) I added export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"

4) saved changes.

I even added this line to .profile logged out then back in again but I am still getting laravel command not found.

What am I doing wrong?
