Composer - Package Management for PHP

Composer is a package manager tracking local dependencies of your projects and libraries.

See the about page on packagist.org for more information.

Installation / Usage

1. Download the composer.phar executable

2. If you're on a *nix system, make it executable: chmod +x composer.phar

3. 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 guidelines.

   {
       "require": {
           "monolog/monolog": ">=1.0.0"
       }
   }
   

4. Run Composer: php composer.phar install (on *nix you can omit the leading php)

5. Browse for more packages on Packagist.

PHP 5.3+
