Why can there be different composer behavior of the same version?

Question

Composer

We use different development environments with a colleague: he uses desktop linux, I use win and a virtual machine with ubuntu server. But for some reason, composer works differently for us (I use composer by connecting via ssh to a virtual machine). For example, when in the same project he performs composer install, then everything is set normally for him and the application starts immediately. In my composer install, the packages are placed in other folders. In particular, my colleague puts jquery in the bower folder, but in my bower-asset, and then the application swears that jquery was not found in the bower folder. I reinstalled composer to my colleague's version ( 1.1.2 2016-05-31 19:48:11 ) and it still works differently. Tell me what could be the problem?

Answer 1

How are bower and composer related? These are two different dependency managers.
I believe you have a .bowerrc file somewhere.
Look for .bowerrc, it's probably in one of your folders and overrides bower behavior. If it's not there, check your environment variables.
