How do I install Composer programmatically?

As noted on the download page, the installer script contains a checksum which changes when the installer code changes and as such it should not be relied upon in the long term.

An alternative is to use this script which only works with UNIX utilities:

<!-- Please remember to select the appropriate branch:
#!/bin/sh

EXPECTED_CHECKSUM="$(php -r 'copy("https://composer.github.io/installer.sig", "php://stdout");')"
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
ACTUAL_CHECKSUM="$(php -r "echo hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php');")"

if [ "$EXPECTED_CHECKSUM" != "$ACTUAL_CHECKSUM" ]
then
    >&2 echo 'ERROR: Invalid installer checksum'
    rm composer-setup.php
    exit 1
fi

php composer-setup.php --quiet
RESULT=$?
rm composer-setup.php
exit $RESULTFor bug fixes pick the oldest branch where the fix applies (e.g. `2.4` if that version is affected, `1.10` if it is a critical fix that should be fixed in Composer 1, otherwise `main`)

For new features and everything else, use the main branch. -->
!/bin/sh

EXPECTED_CHECKSUM="$(php -r 'copy("https://composer.github.io/installer.sig", "php://stdout");')"
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
ACTUAL_CHECKSUM="$(php -r "echo hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php');")"

if [ "$EXPECTED_CHECKSUM" != "$ACTUAL_CHECKSUM" ]
then
    >&2 echo 'ERROR: Invalid installer checksum'
    rm composer-setup.php
    exit 1
fi

php composer-setup.php --quiet
RESULT=$?
rm composer-setup.php
exit $RESULT

The script will exit with 1 in case of failure, or 0 on success, and is quiet if no error occurs.

Alternatively, if you want to rely on an exact copy of the installer, you can fetch a specific version from GitHub's history. The commit hash should be enough to give it uniqueness and authenticity as long as you can trust the GitHub servers. For example:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/composer/getcomposer.org/76a7060ccb93902cd7576b67264ad91c8a2700e2/web/installer -O - -q | php -- --quiet

You may replace the commit hash by whatever the last commit hash is on https://github.com/composer/getcomposer.org/commits/main
