Remove composer

I installed composer while trying to install CakePHP, but the installation was not successful and I want to uninstall composer. I am not finding any way to do this.

For the installation I used the command:

curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

I am working in Linux.

Solution

  • During the installation you got a message Composer successfully installed to: ... this indicates where Composer was installed. But you might also search for the file composer.phar on your system.

    Then simply:

    1. Delete the file composer.phar.
    2. Delete the Cache Folder:
      • Linux: /home/<user>/.composer
      • Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Composer

    That's it.
