laravel command not found while using laravel command

Question

I've recently installed composer and also installed laravel installer from composer from the commmand line just like they said in laravel documentation. But when I used the laravel command on the command line, it show error:

sh.exe": laravel: command not found

I also added environment variable in the path variable.

~/.composer/vendor/bin

But still the same error occurs while using the laravel command. I'm a laravel newbie and I'm stuck in laravel installation.I've searched lot of times but still could not get the solution. I've read lot of users' questions with the same problem and used their solutions but still could not fix this.

I've copy-pasted the exact location of the file and echoing the $PATH variable shows the exact same location. But still won't let that command. — Birendra Gurung, Dec 16 '15 at 12:33
Then it doesn't work for obvious reasons. you need to add the path of the location where that file is — Vishal Sharma, Dec 16 '15 at 14:16
`C:\Users\Birendra Gurung\AppData\Roaming\.Composer\vendor\bin` this is my current path set to the variable and I've checked the location. Is it correct to place a ` . ` before the composer folder name? — Birendra Gurung, Dec 16 '15 at 17:06

Your path /c/xampp/php:~/.composer/vendor/bin is definitly wrong. Either you have to fix it (should be something like C:/{path_to_your_composer_directory}) or you can simply use composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist to install a new laravel project.

I would go with the 2nd option, because you don't have to configure something else.

I've add the exact same location on the environment variable but still the same error is shown. The second option would be great if there's no need for the `laravel` command any more in further development using the framework. Any way worked out the second way. – Birendra Gurung Dec 16 '15 at 12:44

On windows system, please remove . from path (just before .Composer)
