  <p>I created the file suggested in this post: 
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21330051/installing-composer-globally-for-laravel-usage">Installing Composer globally for laravel usage?</a></p>
  
  <p>and nothing. </p>
  
  <p>Most of the posts I ran into solved the problem with adding the path - which doesn't solve mine. </p>
  
  <p>I am currently using WAMP on Windows 10. </p>
  
  <p>What can be the problem? </p>
