Can't install composer on windows?

Question

Command line

Hello! Can't install composer on windows. Tried installing via .exe installer and via .phar in both cases, installation just hangs. Most likely the problem appeared after I could not install phpunit on my computer and used the instructions . Which said that you need to enter the command:

unalias $(alias | grep winpty | cut -d"=" -f1 | cut -d" " -f2)

.exe installer hangs at "Checking your command-line PHP"

Answer 1

why would you want to install something there? it's just a phar file
copied and
then you run everything
like
"z:\usr\local\php5\php.exe" "z:\composer.phar" update

Answer 2

Just download composer.pharand save it somewhere. Then, in any directory accessible via the PATH environment variable, create a file composer.bat:

@echo off
x:\path\to\php.exe -c x:\path\to\php.ini -f x:\path\to\composer.phar -- %*

Naturally, replace the paths with real ones. It would also be good for you to have a separate one php.inifor Composer. Main differences:

memory_limit = 1024M   ; Возможно даже 2048M если проекты имеют много зависимостей
; также необходимо отключить XDebug

After that, it will be possible to access Composer simply through the command composer.
