Good morning,
Terminus 3.07, Composer 2.4.1, php 7.4.26, macos 12.5.1
When I attempt to install terminus-rsync-plugin, Terminus displays an error:
[error] Please update Composer to enable plugin management. Run composer self-update.
According to all the documentation I can find, I have all the correct versions of things. Any ideas?
Thank you!
Hi, @uotonyh! Apologies you’re experiencing Terminus installation issues. I’m going to reach out to the team + see if someone can assist!
Hi @uotonyh
Any chance you have more than one composer versions installed?
Could you try running the following commands and pasting the output here? Please
whereis composer
which composer
Thanks!
Okay, here is a conundrum: my system reports composer version 2.4.1, but when I try the plugin install command with the terminus verbose switch, terminus reports composer 2.0.13 ?!?
$ composer --version
Composer version 2.4.1 2022-08-20 11:44:50
$ terminus -vvv self:plugin:install terminus-rsync-plugin
[debug] Running composer --version...
[debug] Returned:
Composer version 2.0.13 2021-04-27 13:11:08
[error] Please update Composer to enable plugin management. Run composer self-update.
Hi @uotonyh
Is /usr/local/bin/composer the only thing that those command report?
If you run /usr/local/bin/composer --version you get the same output? (2.4.1)
I’m thinking you may have an alias in your .bashrc/.zshrc that is pointing to a different place with the correct version and therefore terminus is unable to use it (terminus can only read a binary in $PATH, not using aliases)
Let me know if you find anything else.
@kporras07 You are correct, although I’m not sure where the mismatch was. I updated XCode, and suddenly composer -v started showing 2.0.13.
I ran sudo composer self-update and Terminus was able to install the rsync plugin.
Thank you for your help!

Addendum: terminus is looking for composer in /usr/local/bin, at least on macOS 13 “Ventura”.
Sheesh!
