Composer does not work with oh-my-zsh

Question

I have installed composer on my Mac and it works just fine.

I have an issue with composer when i load oh-my-zsh and typing "composer" in terminal gives me following random ????% on the screen.

When i disable oh-my-zsh by renaming .zshrc in home, it agains begin to work.

Following is my .bash_profile file.

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/bin:$PATH

And here is my .zshrc file

# Path to your oh-my-zsh configuration.
ZSH=$HOME/.oh-my-zsh

# Set name of the theme to load.
# Look in ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/
# Optionally, if you set this to "random", it'll load a random theme each
# time that oh-my-zsh is loaded.
ZSH_THEME="azhararmar"

# Example aliases
# alias zshconfig="mate ~/.zshrc"
# alias ohmyzsh="mate ~/.oh-my-zsh"

# Set to this to use case-sensitive completion
# CASE_SENSITIVE="true"

# Uncomment this to disable bi-weekly auto-update checks
# DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE="true"

# Uncomment to change how often before auto-updates occur? (in days)
# export UPDATE_ZSH_DAYS=13

# Uncomment following line if you want to disable colors in ls
# DISABLE_LS_COLORS="true"

# Uncomment following line if you want to disable autosetting terminal title.
# DISABLE_AUTO_TITLE="true"

# Uncomment following line if you want to disable command autocorrection
# DISABLE_CORRECTION="true"

# Uncomment following line if you want red dots to be displayed while waiting for completion
# COMPLETION_WAITING_DOTS="true"

# Uncomment following line if you want to disable marking untracked files under
# VCS as dirty. This makes repository status check for large repositories much,
# much faster.
# DISABLE_UNTRACKED_FILES_DIRTY="true"

# Uncomment following line if you want to  shown in the command execution time stamp 
# in the history command output. The optional three formats: "mm/dd/yyyy"|"dd.mm.yyyy"|
# yyyy-mm-dd
# HIST_STAMPS="mm/dd/yyyy"

# Which plugins would you like to load? (plugins can be found in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/*)
# Custom plugins may be added to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/
# Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse)
plugins=(git)

source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

# User configuration

export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
# export MANPATH="/usr/local/man:$MANPATH"

# # Preferred editor for local and remote sessions
# if [[ -n $SSH_CONNECTION ]]; then
#   export EDITOR='vim'
# else
#   export EDITOR='mvim'
# fi

# Compilation flags
# export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"

# ssh
# export SSH_KEY_PATH="~/.ssh/dsa_id"

What could possibly be wrong ?

Answer 1

You most likely had an alias setup in your .bash_profile or .bashrc file. You will need to move this over to the .zshrc file.

alias "composer"="php ~/.composer/composer.phar"

Answer 2

Just run:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

Answer 3

If you have already moved your composer.phar to /usr/local/bin/composer you can use:

alias composer="/usr/local/bin/composer"

Answer 4

In the .zshrc file.

# Which plugins would you like to load? (plugins can be found in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/*)
# Custom plugins may be added to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/
# Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse)
# Add wisely, as too many plugins slow down shell startup.
plugins=(git composer)

//EOF

Answer 5

Edit ~/.zshrc and add:

export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

And refresh it:

. ~/.zshrc

By the way, there's a note about the PATH at the beginning of ~/.zshrc:

# If you come from bash you might have to change your $PATH.                                                                                                                    
# export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH

Answer 6

First check composer is installed or not if composer is installed then you need

vim ~/.zshrc

add bellow line

alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar"

How can check composer is installed or not if your normal terminal is working then composer --version if your normal terminal show same error. cd /usr/local/bin/ check composer.phar is available or not.

Answer 7

1. Open .zshrc and update plugins=(...other composer) ...other is your other plugins
2. Go to .composer/lalit*/ and type these commands: *= name of user

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"

php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'e0012edf3e80b6978849f5eff0d4b4e4c79ff1609dd1e613307e16318854d24ae64f26d17af3ef0bf7cfb710ca74755a') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"

php composer-setup.php
