Composer install and HOME or COMPOSER_HOME environment fix

You can follow the steps below to install composer. The reason for this article is actually this error received in Laravel. The HOME or COMPOSER_HOME environment variable must be set for composer to run correctly

install

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '756890a4488ce9024fc62c56153228907f1545c228516cbf63f885e036d37e9a59d27d63f46af1d4d07ee0f76181c7d3') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

Error fix

export COMPOSER_HOME="$HOME/.config/composer";
composer

If there is something like an apache server then I need env to be recognized there. I am using cwp

/usr/local/apache/conf.d/vhosts.conf
SetEnv COMPOSER_HOME /root
SetEnv HOME /root

run testet getenv(“HOME”)
