composer - Dependency Manager for PHP

New in version 1.6.

Synopsis

  • Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the dependent libraries your project needs and it will install them in your project for you.

  • php
  • composer installed in bin path (recommended /usr/local/bin)
