Composer - Dependency Management for PHP ======================================== Composer helps you declare, manage and install dependencies of PHP projects, ensuring you have the right stack everywhere. See [https://getcomposer.org/](https://getcomposer.org/) for more information and documentation. [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/composer/composer.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/composer/composer) Installation / Usage -------------------- 1. Download the [`composer.phar`](https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar) executable or use the installer. ``` sh $ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php ``` 2. 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](https://getcomposer.org/doc/02-libraries.md). ``` json { "require": { "monolog/monolog": ">=1.0.0" } } ``` 3. Run Composer: `php composer.phar install` 4. Browse for more packages on [Packagist](https://packagist.org). Global installation of Composer (manual) ---------------------------------------- Follow instructions [in the documentation](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally) Updating Composer ----------------- Running `php composer.phar self-update` or equivalent will update a phar install to the latest version.
