Installation
Composer requires PHP 5.3.2+ to run. Here is how you can install on different platforms.
Installation on Windows
On Windows, installing is very easy, so we not go into much detail. You just need to download and execute the setup from getcomposer.org. Here is the link: https://getcomposer.org/Composer-Setup.exe.
Installation on Linux/Unix/OS X
There are two to install Composer, they are locally and globally. You simply install through the following commands:
$ php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'Composer-setup.php');" $ php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === '669656bab3166a7aff8a7506b8cb2d1c292f042046c5a994c43155c0be6190fa0355160742ab2e1c88d40d5be660b410') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;" $ php composer-setup.php $ php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
The preceding commands perform following respectively:
- Downloads the Composer setup PHP file
- Verifies the Installer...
