If set to `1`, it is the equivalent of passing the `--no-dev` argument to `install` or
`update`. You can override this for a single command by setting `COMPOSER_NO_DEV=0`.
### COMPOSER_IGNORE_PLATFORM_REQ or COMPOSER_IGNORE_PLATFORM_REQS
If `COMPOSER_IGNORE_PLATFORM_REQS` set to `1`, it is the equivalent of passing the `--ignore-platform-reqs` argument.
Otherwise, specifying a comma separated list in `COMPOSER_IGNORE_PLATFORM_REQ` will ignore those specific requirements.
For example, if a development workstation will never run database queries, this can be used to ignore the requirement for the database extensions to be available.
If you set `COMPOSER_IGNORE_PLATFORM_REQ=ext-oci8`, then composer will allow packages to be installed even if the `oci8` PHP extension is not enabled.
