Installation
Windows
The installer will download composer for you and set up your PATH environment variable so you can simply call composer from any directory. Download and run Composer-Setup.exe - it will install the latest composer version whenever it is executed.
Linux & Mac OS
The first step is to download Composer, which will effectively create a Phar (PHP Archive) file called composer.phar. From your terminal, run the following command:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
The resulting file will be called composer.phar, a PHP Archive that can be executed directly via PHP. However, in our case, we want Composer to be accessible globally by simply typing composer. To do this, move it to /usr/bin/ and create an alias:
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/ vim ~/.bash_profile
Add this to your .bash_profile. It may be empty or non-existent, so go ahead and create it:
alias composer="php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar"
Now, relaunch your terminal and you'll be able to access Composer simply by calling composer
