    How To Install PHP Composer on Ubuntu 18.04 & 16.04

    By RahulDecember 10, 20212 Mins Read

    The PHP Composer is a package management tool for PHP similar to NPM for Nodejs and bundle for Ruby. Using the composer tool we can define required libraries for our project and install it with the composer in the single command. We don’t need to search for each library to install.

    This tutorial helps you to install and configure PHP composer on Ubuntu 19.10, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS systems.

    1. Prerequisites

    • Shell access to a running Ubuntu system with sudo privilege.
    • PHP must be installed and configured, version 5.3 or higher.

    2. Install Composer on Ubuntu

    To install PHP composer on an Ubuntu system. We just need to download the composer executable and put it under bin directory.

    curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php 
    

    Now use the following commands to make composer available globally for all users in your system, which can be used for all PHP applications on that system.

    sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer 
    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer 
    

    After installation of the composer on your system. Type composer at the command prompt. This will provide you with composer version details along with options available with the composer command.

    composer 
    

    Output:

      / ____/___  ____ ___  ____  ____  ________  _____
     / /   / __ \/ __ `__ \/ __ \/ __ \/ ___/ _ \/ ___/
    / /___/ /_/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ (__  )  __/ /
    \____/\____/_/ /_/ /_/ .___/\____/____/\___/_/
                        /_/

    Usage:
      command [options] [arguments]
    
    Options:
      -h, --help                     Display this help message
      -q, --quiet                    Do not output any message
      -V, --version                  Display this application version
          --ansi                     Force ANSI output
          --no-ansi                  Disable ANSI output
      -n, --no-interaction           Do not ask any interactive question
          --profile                  Display timing and memory usage information
          --no-plugins               Whether to disable plugins.
      -d, --working-dir=WORKING-DIR  If specified, use the given directory as working directory.
          --no-cache                 Prevent use of the cache
