This tutorial will show you how to install composer on a ubuntu machine. To get composer running, you need at least php-cli
and unzip
sudo apt install php-cli unzip
After that, you go to your home directory and download the installer to your tmp
folder:
cd ~
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer -o /tmp/composer-setup.php
After you download the installer, you can run it with the following command. This will create an executable in your local binary folder and you can use composer anywhere.
sudo php /tmp/composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
Test your installation:
composer
Composer is now installed on your system.
