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.phar
executable or use the installer.$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

php
instead:php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php

Create a composer.json defining your dependencies. Note that this example is a short version for applications that are not meant to be published as packages themselves. To create libraries/packages please read the documentation.
