Installing drush using composer
Raw
composer_drush.md

Install Drush using Composer

1. Install composer globally

Detailed information about this step can be found here.

2. Drush installation

composer global require drush/drush:8.*
composer global update

We can state any Drush version we need. We can also roll back to a necessary release version of Drush using commands above. Now, we can use Drush:

drush version

Don't panic, if you are getting the next message after performing commands above:

The program 'drush' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt install drush

It means that appropriate executable file can't be found. We can fix it by performing one of the following:

  1. Put appropriate folder on the PATH environment variable:
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"
  1. Add an alias to the ~/.bashrc file, i.e:
alias drush='php ~/.composer/vendor/drush/drush/drush.php'

Enjoy!
