Install Composer with MAMP on Windows 10

Webdev

Download Composer

Retrieve the latest version of Composer from the link below :
https://getcomposer.org/Composer-Setup.exe

Install Composer

Please find below the steps I used to install Composer with MAMP.

Step 1 : Turn off the developer mode

Don’t use the developer mode !

Step 1

Step 2 : Select the right version of PHP

Click Browse then find and select the php.exe you are currently using.

Step 2

If you don’t know which version of MAMP you are using, just go to the MAMP’s preferences. Ex:
MAMP PHP Preferences

In my case, I’m using PHP version 7.4.1 at the time of writing.
And I’m the only person using my machine so I checked the option to modify the path:
Step 2-2

Step 2-3

Step 3 : Configure a proxy or not

You are now prompted to confirm if you want to configure a proxy.
In you don’t know what a proxy is, then you are probably not using one.
Just skip it

Step 3

Step 4 : Confirm

If you are ready, just press the install button! Otherwise go back to adjust the settings.

Step 4

Step 5 : Warning

I just click the Next button and will logoff / login later.

Step 5

Step 6 : All done

Everything’s good! You can safely logoff and login again to trigger the refresh of Windows Environment. (I meant it, logoff and login again, NOT restarting)

Step 6

Give it a try

Open a terminal and try to install the hubspot sdk for example :

cd E:\GitHub\phutured\past\
composer require hubspot/api-client

Solution when MAMP’s MySQL won’t start under Windows 10

Webdev

Here are a few solutions you can found while searching the Internet :

  • Disabling binary logs via the mysql config file
  • Deleting iblogfileXXX files
  • Deleting mysql-bin.~ files
  • Uninstalling and re-installing MAMP
  • etc…

None of them will work. Most of the tips are for MAMP version older than 4.1.
Starting version 4.2.0 using the following solution found on a Japanese woman evangelist blog worked for me !

What you have to do is stopping MAMP and edit the mysql config file located here :

C:\MAMP\conf\mysql\my.ini

Just after the innodb related settings and before the mysqldump, for example :

#innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
#innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50

[mysqldump]
quick
max_allowed_packet = 16M

Add the following line :

innodb_flush_method = normal

Which results in :

#innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
#innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50
innodb_flush_method = normal

[mysqldump]
quick
max_allowed_packet = 16M

Restart MAMP and now it should work perfectly ! ! !

Feel free to get in touch with me in the comments to tell me if it works for you.
