Flutterwave command not working (Flutterwave CLI)

Question

When you run the command flutterwave -v and it says command not found, you can fix it with the below hack.

---

MAC

in your terminal run

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

source ~/.bashrc

echo 'source ~/.bashrc' >> ~/.bash_profile

To verify that:

echo $PATH

(Restart the terminal, Check & Confirm the path is there)

Run the flutterwave command!

WINDOWS

So instead of ~/.composer/vendor/bin, on Windows the following path should be used:

C:\Users\<COMPUTER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin

Then update the PATH environment variable via e.g. command prompt with admin privileges:

setx /M path "%path%;%appdata%\Composer\vendor\bin"

%appdata% is added, so you don’t have to worry about adding your computer name.

UBUNTU (Ubuntu 16 and above)

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

Answer 1

Here is some tips for some of the issues you may run into during the CLI setup:

1. Composer/Packagist could not find package for minimum stability after trying to run composer global require flutterwavedev/cli :- to resolve this run composer global require flutterwavedev/cli:dev-master instead.

2. No such file or directory after running source ~/.bashrc :- to resolve this run touch ~/.bashrc to create the file and nano ~/.bashrc to add the export path to the file.
