In theory this should be fixed now. I'll reopen it when it doesn't.

I make composer.phar self-update but still get this err message.

Same here. Do you need to be setting an environment variable for this when doing the auto update? Seems likely since it can't inherit from the shell.

i guess so:

igalic@levix /tmp % env -i sh
$ set
IFS=' 
'
OPTIND='1'
PATH='/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin'
PPID='13205'
PS1='$ '
PS2='> '
PS4='+ '
PWD='/tmp'
$ env
PWD=/tmp
$ /home/igalic/bin/composer self-update



  [RuntimeException]                                                                        
  The HOME or COMPOSER_HOME environment variable must be set for composer to run correctly

this may be closely related to #7.

This is actually working fine as proven by countless users (including myself) and Travis CI.
