To install Laravel on latest macOS Monterey 12.5, I installed HomeBrew, used that to install php, then used instructions on Composer.Org to install composer which installed composer.phar on my current directory.
I added my current directory to PATH. But could not run Composer. Then created a directory /usr/local/composer and did "sudo mv composer.phar .." into that directory, which did move the file. Then created a .zshrc file in my current directory and added both my current directory and /usr/local/composer on permanent PATH.
But I still can't invoke composer. zsh gives me "command not found: composer".
I am very new to this. Am I making noob mistakes? Thank you very much for any pointers.
