{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure to place Composer's system-wide vendor bin directory in your `$PATH` so the `laravel` executable can be located by your system. This directory exists in different locations based on your operating system; however, some common locations include:

* macOS: `$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin`
* Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin`
* GNU / Linux Distributions: `$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin` or `$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin`
  {% endhint %}
