title: laravel is not recognized as an internal or external command
body: <p>I'm trying to start laravel, </p>
  
  <p>Found the following line in their tutorial:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH
    so the laravel executable is found when you run the laravel command in
    your terminal.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I don't understand what I should do ?</p>
  
  <p>I added <code>~/.composer/vendor/bin</code> to my system variables,  and then tried using 'laravel new blog' in the command line  but got the following message :   </p>
  
  <p><code>laravel is not recognized as an internal or external command</code></p>
