Hi!
It seems like you're using "composer" as an alias of "composer.phar" into /usr/local/bin/composer

Could you try putting composer binary directly into /usr/local/bin/ and remove the alias and then give it another try? The final path for composer binary should be /usr/local/bin/composer

Please let us know if this works

@kporras07 if I do that, then I have to run PHP /../composer.phar instead of composer. Not a very attractive solution.

right now, composer.phar is in /usr/local/bin/composer/composer.phar

Are you suggesting putting it in /usr/local/bin/composer.phar ?

Another thing I could do is change the alias... I'm really not fond of having to typephp /usr/local/bin/composer/composer.pharevery time I use composer

[kporras07]

@TMWagner no, I mean just leave it at /usr/local/bin/composer (instead of /usr/local/bin/composer/composer). This way, assuming that /usr/local/bin/ is in your PATH, you will use it just as "composer". That's actually the only thing you need, have composer in your path so that you can run it by just typing "composer" but without using aliases

I'm having the same issue, where terminus is confused about Composer.

Composer is installed at /usr/local/bin, and is reporting 2.4.1 for the version number. When I run Terminus with verbose, it's finding Composer version 2.0.13. I have no idea where Terminus is finding that composer. Is there a way to ask Terminus where it is looking for Composer?

$ which composer
/usr/local/bin/composer
$ composer --version
Composer version 2.4.1 2022-08-20 11:44:50
$ terminus -vvv self:plugin:install terminus-rsync-plugin
 [debug] Running composer --version...
 [debug] Returned:
Composer version 2.0.13 2021-04-27 13:11:08
