I am having issues installing Drush on Mac OSX 10.9.5. I have tried a variety of methods. The most successful have been;
Each method had produced a version of Drush, however each appears old and drush dl drupal
downloads the 6.x version, as does drush dl drupal 7.x
.
Can you please suggest:
1) How to ensure old versions of drush are removed to ensure that a new installation goes smoothly.
2) The recommended method for installing the latest stable Drush version on Mac OSX 10.9.5
I had tried to delete the old drush version manually by removing folders. Now the composer installation method seems to fail as I get:
Pauls-iMac:~ Trotter$ composer global require drush/drush:dev-master
Changed current directory to /Users/Trotter/.composer
./composer.json has been updated

and drush info
