 <p>According to <a href="https://laravel.com/docs/5.3#installing-laravel" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Laravel's Documentation</a></p> <p>Make sure to place the <code>$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin</code> directory (or the equivalent directory for your OS) in your $PATH so the laravel executable can be located by your system. In case of Windows you should ad that $PATH to your enviornment variables.</p>
