Add / Update / Find .bashrc or .bash_profile in CentOS 6 for Laravel new command to work

currently I am unable to run Laravel new command to create new project.

I get the following error:

bash: laravel: Command not found

I need to add the path:

$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin

But I have never worked with CentOS, I have done once in Ubuntu but I cant find any article on how to proceed with .bashrc in CentOS.

I did ran this command in Terminal:

export PATH="$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin"

Then I tried :

source ~/.bashrc 

Both of the above command ran and no error was thrown and no output. I am not sure if those command even work for CentOS 6.

I tried : Laravel new blog after above steps and same output Laravel not found. What am I doing wrong or how do I fix this issue ?
