This is minimum example of installing CakePHP via Composer. This repository includes Vagrantfile, You can try yourself on your machine.
http://www.engineyard.co.jp/blog/2013/install-cakephp-on-composer/
- install VirtualBox
- install Vagrant
- clone this repository
- cd into directory you cloned
This Vagrantfile try to spinup instance with an image which is ready for PHP, Composer, Nginx and MySQL. You just need to kick vagrant up
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "candycane"
config.vm.box_url = "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/krarg1fxw1bllk8/candycane.box"
src_dir = './'
doc_root = '/vagrant_data/app/webroot'
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 8080
config.vm.synced_folder src_dir, "/vagrant_data", :create => true, :owner=> 'vagrant', :group=>'www-data', :extra => 'dmode=775,fmode=775'
end
This composer file installs CakePHP via PEAR channel of CakePHP. so you do NOT need include CakePHP library in repository. once you kick composer install. CakePHP will get in the right place.

"name": "status-site",
"repositories": [

to try on this demo. follow step bellow.
bash-3.2$ vagrant up

Now CakePHP is with you.

Next you should generate your app direcotry with bake command. this also configure CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH automatically.
vagrant@precise64:/vagrant_data$ ./Vendor/pear-pear.cakephp.org/CakePHP/bin/cake bake --app app Welcome to CakePHP v2.4.0-beta Console --------------------------------------------------------------- App : app Path: /vagrant_data/app/ --------------------------------------------------------------- Warning Error: scandir(/vagrant_data/app/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in [/vagrant_data/Vendor/pear-pear.cakephp.org/CakePHP/Cake/Console/Command/Task/ProjectTask.php, line 52] Warning Error: scandir(): (errno 2): No such file or directory in [/vagrant_data/Vendor/pear-pear.cakephp.org/CakePHP/Cake/Console/Command/Task/ProjectTask.php, line 52] Warning Error: array_diff(): Argument #1 is not an array in [/vagrant_data/Vendor/pear-pear.cakephp.org/CakePHP/Cake/Console/Command/Task/ProjectTask.php, line 52] What is the path to the project you want to bake?

Then open http://127.0.0.1:8080 on your browser. You must see the initial screen of CakePHP. Yes, now You've installed CakePHP via Composer.
specifying --app option to non existing directory cause warnings. run bake without --app shows clean result. but you need to give fullpath to the first question of bake processs.
