Composer helps you declare, manage and install dependencies of PHP projects, ensuring you have the right stack everywhere.
See https://getcomposer.org/ for more information and documentation.
-
Download the
composer.pharexecutable or use the installer.$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -

{ "require": { "monolog/monolog": ">=1.0.0" } } -
Run Composer:
php composer.phar install -
Browse for more packages on Packagist.
To run tests, or develop Composer itself, you must use the sources and not the phar file as described above.
- Run
git clone https://github.com/composer/composer.git - Download the
composer.pharexecutable - Run Composer to get the dependencies:
cd composer && php ../composer.phar install
You can now run Composer by executing the bin/composer script: php /path/to/composer/bin/composer

Running php composer.phar self-update or equivalent will update a phar
install with the latest version.
