Hello,

I am looking at a git course and codeigniter best practice in tutsplus.

I am totally lost with all the installations I did since yesterday.

I installed git, cygwin and composer.

Now in the cygwin terminal I write: <code>composer -V</code> and I get my composer version.

Then I go to where my codeigniter site is installed: c:\sites\ci
And I put <code>echo @php "%~dp0composer.phar" %*>composer.bat</code> and I get the message: Could not open input file: composer.phar

Can you help please? I am totally confused with all these tools.

Do I need cygwin? I looked at google for hours and I just don't know where to go from here.

Can someone maybe help?
