--global option does not exist while doing a composer --global require

Question

I'm trying to set up my work environment at home. I'm developing a drupal8 project and need to run with a vagrant. So far so good, installed of vagrant composer and php went well. Now I need to use drush to be able to rebuild my cache etc.

Here some more infos :

vagrant@lashootingboxd8:/var/www/drupalvm/drupal$ composer --version
Composer version 1.9.0 2019-08-02 20:55:32

vagrant@lashootingboxd8:/var/www/drupalvm/drupal$ composer --global require drush/drush
    1/1:        https://packages.drupal.org/8/drupal/provider-2019-3$3852c4e111957318dd45daf9d2d7b3ab725e924276f9288a039edfea6e7a8e56.json

    Finished: success: 2, skipped: 0, failure: 0, total: 2


  [Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\RuntimeException]  
  The "--global" option does not exist

So if you guys have any idea of how to fix that would be awesome

EDIT : I did try the composer gloab require drush/drush, it doesn't give me an error but I still don't have anything as you can see below : (sorry I'm a very very noobie for this type of problem)

`Drush only supports one install method. It requires that your Drupal site be built with Composer and Drush be listed as a dependency.` Local dependency. See https://docs.drush.org/en/master/install/. — leymannx, Oct 05 '19 at 11:44

It's not a npm or yarn package manager. In composer you have to use as,
composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"
There is nothing like --global in composer.

Another thing, drush installed properly but it couldn,t find PATH.run command touch ~/. bash_profile and then put export PATH=$PATH:/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/drush in there. Save, close and reopen the terminal.

Yeah I did try it but forgot to post, I just edited my question – StefanSpeterDev Oct 05 '19 at 11:35
Seems you are running on a mac. your installation is installed properly. Close and reopen terminal once, then try running `drush status` again. If it's still doesn't work, run command `touch ~/. bash_profile` and then put `export PATH=$PATH:/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/drush` in there. Save, close and reopen terminal. – Kiran Maniya Oct 05 '19 at 12:58
also, check your project dependency and run `composer install` once – Kiran Maniya Oct 05 '19 at 13:02
I will try to do so, and no I'm under windows unfortunately for this week end – StefanSpeterDev Oct 05 '19 at 13:21
here is what I get when I'm running drush status directly in my folder with Cmder [link](https://imgur.com/oM21Cz0) yet it still doesn't work when I'm inside vscode – StefanSpeterDev Oct 05 '19 at 13:36
It's path issue, configure path, in windows environment variables. – Kiran Maniya Oct 05 '19 at 13:44
Now I get this following [error](https://imgur.com/pOuaE2T), it will never end lol – StefanSpeterDev Oct 05 '19 at 14:05

Forgot to put it but I tried! See my edit on my post – StefanSpeterDev Oct 05 '19 at 11:35
It says that drush is needed locally in the project. Run `composer require drush/drush` from the drupal directory – nixUser Oct 05 '19 at 12:00
it works when I do it this way see : [imgur](https://imgur.com/oM21Cz0) – StefanSpeterDev Oct 05 '19 at 13:41
