Composer cannot be used globally

Question

I just got my macbook pro today i followed a tutorial how to install composer globally I installed first mamp as local server then installed composer which works fine while i am in root directory on mac,then i created a bash profile and added a path

export PATH=" /.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

like this after this i created an alias to enter htdocs in MAMP and when i test it inside docs it says composer not found.

I appreciate everyone who will help me figure this one out.

I tried all methods from below,whenever i try to move it it says rename composer.phar to /usr/local/bin/composer/: No such directory..

Run this in your terminal `source ~/.bashrc` – Azael Sep 19 '19 at 20:48 — Azael, Sep 19 '19 at 20:48

Open your terminal and type nano ~/.bash_profile

Add the following

alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar"

Finally run:

source ~/.bash_profile

Replace the path to your composer path. – Azael Sep 19 '19 at 20:37
How do i do that? Sorry for asking this basic questions but i am newbiie :) – Filip Baron Sep 19 '19 at 20:38
alias composer="php add_path_to_composer_here". It should have worked using the path that I added working for me on a Mac – Azael Sep 19 '19 at 20:39
i added the path as you told me but stilli i get this error – Filip Baron Sep 19 '19 at 20:44
i think it's in Users/user – Filip Baron Sep 19 '19 at 20:47
So now to delete the composer and try again ? also when i am in the root folder i see that composer is installed but when i am into htdocs says not found which mean that its not installed globally. – Filip Baron Sep 19 '19 at 20:54
