6. Add the vendor/bin from the Composer home directory to your $PATH.

(Thereafter, you may substitute cgr for any command line tool whose installation instructions recommends the use of Composer global require. Example: cgr drush/drush)

If you get a popup to install the Xcode Developer tools, go ahead and install Xcode.

7. Update the system $PATH:

vim ~/.bash_profile

to edit the file press the i key to enter Insert mode

…next, copy and paste this into that file:

export PATH='$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH'
PATH='$(composer config -g home)/vendor/bin:$PATH'

Press the Escape (esc) key to switch back to command mode.

Type :wq and press Enter to save and quit the file.

8. Quit the Terminal app (or, run the “source” command to load the .bash_profile file without having to restart the Terminal.)

To run the source command:

source ~/.bash_profile

9. Now you will actually install Drush:
