I have followed a tutorial on Tuts plus called "Getting started with laravel 4". My cygwin and composer works fine. When i try installing laravel using the following command:

$ composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel

i get the following message:

Installing laravel/laravel (v4.2.0)
Downloading: 100%

Created project in laravel

[InvalidArgumentException]
Composer could not find the config file: C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin
To initialize a project, please create a composer.json file as described in  
the http://getcomposer.org/ "Getting Started" section

I have also tried : composer create-project laravel/laravel project-name --prefer-dist. but same error .

I have tried looking at the Getting Started section but I am not sure what this file should contain in a laravel project?

The correct base composer. json for a laravel project can be found at https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/composer.json

  • so, I created the composer.json file and placed it in C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin but same problem : [InvalidArgumentException] project directory business/is not empty – mjoyshuvo Dec 04 '14 at 16:10
  • Sounds like the directory you are trying to create the project in already exists or already has files in it - you need to install into a fresh/clean directory – Tim Dec 04 '14 at 16:12
  • I use Wamp server. whenever I go to localhost, there is no laravel project. – mjoyshuvo Dec 04 '14 at 16:14
