# Command-line interface / Commands
|
|
|
|
You've already learned how to use the command-line interface to do some
|
|
things. This chapter documents all the available commands.
|
|
|
|
To get help from the command-line, simply call `composer` or `composer list`
|
|
to see the complete list of commands, then `--help` combined with any of those
|
|
can give you more information.
|
|
|
|
## Global Options
|
|
|
|
The following options are available with every command:
|
|
|
|
* **--verbose (-v):** Increase verbosity of messages.
|
|
* **--help (-h):** Display help information.
|
|
* **--quiet (-q):** Do not output any message.
|
|
* **--no-interaction (-n):** Do not ask any interactive question.
|
|
* **--working-dir (-d):** If specified, use the given directory as working directory.
|
|
* **--profile:** Display timing and memory usage information
|
|
* **--ansi:** Force ANSI output.
|
|
* **--no-ansi:** Disable ANSI output.
|
|
* **--version (-V):** Display this application version.
|
|
|
|
## Process Exit Codes
|
|
|
|
* **0:** OK
|
|
* **1:** Generic/unknown error code
|
|
* **2:** Dependency solving error code
|
|
|
|
## init
|
|
|
|
In the [Libraries](02-libraries.md) chapter we looked at how to create a
|
|
`composer.json` by hand. There is also an `init` command available that makes
|
|
it a bit easier to do this.
|
|
|
|
When you run the command it will interactively ask you to fill in the fields,
|
|
while using some smart defaults.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar init
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--name:** Name of the package.
|
|
* **--description:** Description of the package.
|
|
* **--author:** Author name of the package.
|
|
* **--homepage:** Homepage of the package.
|
|
* **--require:** Package to require with a version constraint. Should be
|
|
in format `foo/bar:1.0.0`.
|
|
* **--require-dev:** Development requirements, see **--require**.
|
|
* **--stability (-s):** Value for the `minimum-stability` field.
|
|
* **--repository:** Provide one (or more) custom repositories. They will be stored
|
|
in the generated composer.json, and used for auto-completion when prompting for
|
|
the list of requires. Every repository can be either an HTTP URL pointing
|
|
to a `composer` repository or a JSON string which similar to what the
|
|
[repositories](04-schema.md#repositories) key accepts.
|
|
|
|
## install
|
|
|
|
The `install` command reads the `composer.json` file from the current
|
|
directory, resolves the dependencies, and installs them into `vendor`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If there is a `composer.lock` file in the current directory, it will use the
|
|
exact versions from there instead of resolving them. This ensures that
|
|
everyone using the library will get the same versions of the dependencies.
|
|
|
|
If there is no `composer.lock` file, Composer will create one after dependency
|
|
resolution.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--prefer-source:** There are two ways of downloading a package: `source`
|
|
and `dist`. For stable versions Composer will use the `dist` by default.
|
|
The `source` is a version control repository. If `--prefer-source` is
|
|
enabled, Composer will install from `source` if there is one. This is
|
|
useful if you want to make a bugfix to a project and get a local git
|
|
clone of the dependency directly.
|
|
* **--prefer-dist:** Reverse of `--prefer-source`, Composer will install
|
|
from `dist` if possible. This can speed up installs substantially on build
|
|
servers and other use cases where you typically do not run updates of the
|
|
vendors. It is also a way to circumvent problems with git if you do not
|
|
have a proper setup.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore `php`, `hhvm`, `lib-*` and `ext-*`
|
|
requirements and force the installation even if the local machine does not
|
|
fulfill these. See also the [`platform`](06-config.md#platform) config option.
|
|
* **--dry-run:** If you want to run through an installation without actually
|
|
installing a package, you can use `--dry-run`. This will simulate the
|
|
installation and show you what would happen.
|
|
* **--dev:** Install packages listed in `require-dev` (this is the default behavior).
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Skip installing packages listed in `require-dev`. The autoloader
|
|
generation skips the `autoload-dev` rules.
|
|
* **--no-autoloader:** Skips autoloader generation.
|
|
* **--no-scripts:** Skips execution of scripts defined in `composer.json`.
|
|
* **--no-plugins:** Disables plugins.
|
|
* **--no-progress:** Removes the progress display that can mess with some
|
|
terminals or scripts which don't handle backspace characters.
|
|
* **--optimize-autoloader (-o):** Convert PSR-0/4 autoloading to classmap to get a faster
|
|
autoloader. This is recommended especially for production, but can take
|
|
a bit of time to run so it is currently not done by default.
|
|
* **--classmap-authoritative (-a):** Autoload classes from the classmap only.
|
|
Implicitly enables `--optimize-autoloader`.
|
|
|
|
## update
|
|
|
|
In order to get the latest versions of the dependencies and to update the
|
|
`composer.lock` file, you should use the `update` command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will resolve all dependencies of the project and write the exact versions
|
|
into `composer.lock`.
|
|
|
|
If you just want to update a few packages and not all, you can list them as such:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar update vendor/package vendor/package2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also use wildcards to update a bunch of packages at once:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar update vendor/*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--prefer-source:** Install packages from `source` when available.
|
|
* **--prefer-dist:** Install packages from `dist` when available.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore `php`, `hhvm`, `lib-*` and `ext-*`
|
|
requirements and force the installation even if the local machine does not
|
|
fulfill these. See also the [`platform`](06-config.md#platform) config option.
|
|
* **--dry-run:** Simulate the command without actually doing anything.
|
|
* **--dev:** Install packages listed in `require-dev` (this is the default behavior).
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Skip installing packages listed in `require-dev`. The autoloader generation skips the `autoload-dev` rules.
|
|
* **--no-autoloader:** Skips autoloader generation.
|
|
* **--no-scripts:** Skips execution of scripts defined in `composer.json`.
|
|
* **--no-plugins:** Disables plugins.
|
|
* **--no-progress:** Removes the progress display that can mess with some
|
|
terminals or scripts which don't handle backspace characters.
|
|
* **--optimize-autoloader (-o):** Convert PSR-0/4 autoloading to classmap to get a faster
|
|
autoloader. This is recommended especially for production, but can take
|
|
a bit of time to run so it is currently not done by default.
|
|
* **--classmap-authoritative (-a):** Autoload classes from the classmap only.
|
|
Implicitly enables `--optimize-autoloader`.
|
|
* **--lock:** Only updates the lock file hash to suppress warning about the
|
|
lock file being out of date.
|
|
* **--with-dependencies:** Add also all dependencies of whitelisted packages to the whitelist.
|
|
* **--root-reqs:** Restricts the update to your first degree dependencies.
|
|
* **--prefer-stable:** Prefer stable versions of dependencies.
|
|
* **--prefer-lowest:** Prefer lowest versions of dependencies. Useful for testing minimal
|
|
versions of requirements, generally used with `--prefer-stable`.
|
|
|
|
## require
|
|
|
|
The `require` command adds new packages to the `composer.json` file from
|
|
the current directory. If no file exists one will be created on the fly.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar require
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After adding/changing the requirements, the modified requirements will be
|
|
installed or updated.
|
|
|
|
If you do not want to choose requirements interactively, you can just pass them
|
|
to the command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar require vendor/package:2.* vendor/package2:dev-master
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--prefer-source:** Install packages from `source` when available.
|
|
* **--prefer-dist:** Install packages from `dist` when available.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore `php`, `hhvm`, `lib-*` and `ext-*`
|
|
requirements and force the installation even if the local machine does not
|
|
fulfill these. See also the [`platform`](06-config.md#platform) config option.
|
|
* **--dev:** Add packages to `require-dev`.
|
|
* **--no-update:** Disables the automatic update of the dependencies.
|
|
* **--no-progress:** Removes the progress display that can mess with some
|
|
terminals or scripts which don't handle backspace characters.
|
|
* **--update-no-dev:** Run the dependency update with the `--no-dev` option.
|
|
* **--update-with-dependencies:** Also update dependencies of the newly
|
|
required packages.
|
|
* **--sort-packages:** Keep packages sorted in `composer.json`.
|
|
* **--optimize-autoloader (-o):** Convert PSR-0/4 autoloading to classmap to
|
|
get a faster autoloader. This is recommended especially for production, but
|
|
can take a bit of time to run so it is currently not done by default.
|
|
* **--classmap-authoritative (-a):** Autoload classes from the classmap only.
|
|
Implicitly enables `--optimize-autoloader`.
|
|
|
|
## remove
|
|
|
|
The `remove` command removes packages from the `composer.json` file from
|
|
the current directory.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar remove vendor/package vendor/package2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After removing the requirements, the modified requirements will be
|
|
uninstalled.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore `php`, `hhvm`, `lib-*` and `ext-*`
|
|
requirements and force the installation even if the local machine does not
|
|
fulfill these. See also the [`platform`](06-config.md#platform) config option.
|
|
* **--dev:** Remove packages from `require-dev`.
|
|
* **--no-update:** Disables the automatic update of the dependencies.
|
|
* **--no-progress:** Removes the progress display that can mess with some
|
|
terminals or scripts which don't handle backspace characters.
|
|
* **--update-no-dev:** Run the dependency update with the --no-dev option.
|
|
* **--update-with-dependencies:** Also update dependencies of the removed packages.
|
|
* **--optimize-autoloader (-o):** Convert PSR-0/4 autoloading to classmap to
|
|
get a faster autoloader. This is recommended especially for production, but
|
|
can take a bit of time to run so it is currently not done by default.
|
|
* **--classmap-authoritative (-a):** Autoload classes from the classmap only.
|
|
Implicitly enables `--optimize-autoloader`.
|
|
|
|
## global
|
|
|
|
The global command allows you to run other commands like `install`, `require`
|
|
or `update` as if you were running them from the [COMPOSER_HOME](#composer-home)
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
This is merely a helper to manage a project stored in a central location that
|
|
can hold CLI tools or Composer plugins that you want to have available everywhere.
|
|
|
|
This can be used to install CLI utilities globally and if you add
|
|
`$COMPOSER_HOME/vendor/bin` to your `$PATH` environment variable. Here is an
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar global require fabpot/php-cs-fixer:dev-master
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now the `php-cs-fixer` binary is available globally (assuming you adjusted
|
|
your PATH). If you wish to update the binary later on you can just run a
|
|
global update:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar global update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## search
|
|
|
|
The search command allows you to search through the current project's package
|
|
repositories. Usually this will be just packagist. You simply pass it the
|
|
terms you want to search for.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar search monolog
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also search for more than one term by passing multiple arguments.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--only-name (-N):** Search only in name.
|
|
|
|
## show
|
|
|
|
To list all of the available packages, you can use the `show` command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar show
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to see the details of a certain package, you can pass the package
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar show monolog/monolog
|
|
|
|
name : monolog/monolog
|
|
versions : master-dev, 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0.0, 1.0.0-RC1
|
|
type : library
|
|

|
|
Monolog : src/
|
|
|
|
requires
|
|
php >=5.3.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can even pass the package version, which will tell you the details of that
|
|
specific version.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar show monolog/monolog 1.0.2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--installed (-i):** List the packages that are installed.
|
|
* **--platform (-p):** List only platform packages (php & extensions).
|
|
* **--self (-s):** List the root package info.
|
|
* **--tree (-t):** List the dependencies as a tree. Only usable when giving a single package name or combined with `-i`.
|
|
|
|
## browse / home
|
|
|
|
The `browse` (aliased to `home`) opens a package's repository URL or homepage
|
|
in your browser.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--homepage (-H):** Open the homepage instead of the repository URL.
|
|
|
|
## suggests
|
|
|
|
Lists all packages suggested by currently installed set of packages. You can
|
|
optionally pass one or multiple package names in the format of `vendor/package`
|
|
to limit output to suggestions made by those packages only.
|
|
|
|
Use the `--by-package` or `--by-suggestion` flags to group the output by
|
|
the package offering the suggestions or the suggested packages respectively.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--by-package:** Groups output by suggesting package.
|
|
* **--by-suggestion:** Groups output by suggested package.
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Excludes suggestions from `require-dev` packages.
|
|
* **--verbose (-v):** Increased verbosity adds suggesting package name and
|
|
reason for suggestion.
|
|
|
|
## depends
|
|
|
|
The `depends` command tells you which other packages depend on a certain
|
|
package. As with installation `require-dev` relationships are only considered
|
|
for the root package.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar depends doctrine/lexer
|
|
doctrine/annotations v1.2.7 requires doctrine/lexer (1.*)
|
|
doctrine/common v2.6.1 requires doctrine/lexer (1.*)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can optionally specify a version constraint after the package to limit the
|
|
search.
|
|
|
|
Add the `--tree` or `-t` flag to show a recursive tree of why the package is
|
|
depended upon, for example:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar depends psr/log -t
|
|
psr/log 1.0.0 Common interface for logging libraries
|
|
|- aboutyou/app-sdk 2.6.11 (requires psr/log 1.0.*)
|
|
| `- __root__ (requires aboutyou/app-sdk ^2.6)
|
|
|- monolog/monolog 1.17.2 (requires psr/log ~1.0)
|
|
| `- laravel/framework v5.2.16 (requires monolog/monolog ~1.11)
|
|
| `- __root__ (requires laravel/framework ^5.2)
|
|
`- symfony/symfony v3.0.2 (requires psr/log ~1.0)
|
|
`- __root__ (requires symfony/symfony ^3.0)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--recursive (-r):** Recursively resolves up to the root package.
|
|
* **--tree (-t):** Prints the results as a nested tree, implies -r.
|
|
|
|
## prohibits
|
|
|
|
The `prohibits` command tells you which packages are blocking a given package
|
|
from being installed. Specify a version constraint to verify whether upgrades
|
|
can be performed in your project, and if not why not. See the following
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar prohibits symfony/symfony 3.1
|
|
laravel/framework v5.2.16 requires symfony/var-dumper (2.8.*|3.0.*)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that you can also specify platform requirements, for example to check
|
|
whether you can upgrade your server to PHP 8.0:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar prohibits php:8
|
|
doctrine/cache v1.6.0 requires php (~5.5|~7.0)
|
|
doctrine/common v2.6.1 requires php (~5.5|~7.0)
|
|
doctrine/instantiator 1.0.5 requires php (>=5.3,<8.0-DEV)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As with `depends` you can request a recursive lookup, which will list all
|
|
packages depending on the packages that cause the conflict.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--recursive (-r):** Recursively resolves up to the root package.
|
|
* **--tree (-t):** Prints the results as a nested tree, implies -r.
|
|
|
|
## validate
|
|
|
|
You should always run the `validate` command before you commit your
|
|
`composer.json` file, and before you tag a release. It will check if your
|
|
`composer.json` is valid.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar validate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--no-check-all:** Do not emit a warning if requirements in `composer.json` use unbound version constraints.
|
|
* **--no-check-lock:** Do not emit an error if `composer.lock` exists and is not up to date.
|
|
* **--no-check-publish:** Do not emit an error if `composer.json` is unsuitable for publishing as a package on Packagist but is otherwise valid.
|
|
|
|
## status
|
|
|
|
If you often need to modify the code of your dependencies and they are
|
|
installed from source, the `status` command allows you to check if you have
|
|
local changes in any of them.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With the `--verbose` option you get some more information about what was
|
|
changed:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar status -v
|
|
|
|
You have changes in the following dependencies:
|
|
vendor/seld/jsonlint:
|
|
M README.mdown
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## self-update
|
|
|
|
To update Composer itself to the latest version, just run the `self-update`
|
|
command. It will replace your `composer.phar` with the latest version.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar self-update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you would like to instead update to a specific release simply specify it:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar self-update 1.0.0-alpha7
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you have installed Composer for your entire system (see [global installation](00-intro.md#globally)),
|
|
you may have to run the command with `root` privileges
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo -H composer self-update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--rollback (-r):** Rollback to the last version you had installed.
|
|
* **--clean-backups:** Delete old backups during an update. This makes the
|
|
current version of Composer the only backup available after the update.
|
|
|
|
## config
|
|
|
|
The `config` command allows you to edit some basic Composer settings in either
|
|
the local `composer.json` file or the global `config.json` file.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar config --list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
`config [options] [setting-key] [setting-value1] ... [setting-valueN]`
|
|
|
|
`setting-key` is a configuration option name and `setting-value1` is a
|
|
configuration value. For settings that can take an array of values (like
|
|
`github-protocols`), more than one setting-value arguments are allowed.
|
|
|
|
See the [Config](06-config.md) chapter for valid configuration options.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--global (-g):** Operate on the global config file located at
|
|
`$COMPOSER_HOME/config.json` by default. Without this option, this command
|
|
affects the local composer.json file or a file specified by `--file`.
|
|
* **--editor (-e):** Open the local composer.json file using in a text editor as
|
|
defined by the `EDITOR` env variable. With the `--global` option, this opens
|
|
the global config file.
|
|
* **--unset:** Remove the configuration element named by `setting-key`.
|
|
* **--list (-l):** Show the list of current config variables. With the `--global`
|
|
option this lists the global configuration only.
|
|
* **--file="..." (-f):** Operate on a specific file instead of composer.json. Note
|
|
that this cannot be used in conjunction with the `--global` option.
|
|
* **--absolute:** Returns absolute paths when fetching *-dir config values
|
|
instead of relative.
|
|
|
|
### Modifying Repositories
|
|
|
|
In addition to modifying the config section, the `config` command also supports making
|
|
changes to the repositories section by using it the following way:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar config repositories.foo vcs https://github.com/foo/bar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your repository requires more configuration options, you can instead pass its JSON representation :
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar config repositories.foo '{"type": "vcs", "url": "http://svn.example.org/my-project/", "trunk-path": "master"}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## create-project
|
|
|
|
You can use Composer to create new projects from an existing package. This is
|
|
the equivalent of doing a git clone/svn checkout followed by a "composer install"
|
|
of the vendors.
|
|
|
|
There are several applications for this:
|
|
|
|
1. You can deploy application packages.
|
|
2. You can check out any package and start developing on patches for example.
|
|
3. Projects with multiple developers can use this feature to bootstrap the
|
|
initial application for development.
|
|
|
|
To create a new project using Composer you can use the "create-project" command.
|
|
Pass it a package name, and the directory to create the project in. You can also
|
|
provide a version as third argument, otherwise the latest version is used.
|
|
|
|
If the directory does not currently exist, it will be created during installation.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar create-project doctrine/orm path 2.2.*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to run the command without params in a directory with an
|
|
existing `composer.json` file to bootstrap a project.
|
|
|
|
By default the command checks for the packages on packagist.org.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--repository:** Provide a custom repository to search for the package,
|
|
which will be used instead of packagist. Can be either an HTTP URL pointing
|
|
to a `composer` repository, a path to a local `packages.json` file, or a
|
|
JSON string which similar to what the [repositories](04-schema.md#repositories)
|
|
key accepts.
|
|
* **--stability (-s):** Minimum stability of package. Defaults to `stable`.
|
|
* **--prefer-source:** Install packages from `source` when available.
|
|
* **--prefer-dist:** Install packages from `dist` when available.
|
|
* **--dev:** Install packages listed in `require-dev`.
|
|
* **--no-install:** Disables installation of the vendors.
|
|
* **--no-plugins:** Disables plugins.
|
|
* **--no-scripts:** Disables the execution of the scripts defined in the root
|
|
package.
|
|
* **--no-progress:** Removes the progress display that can mess with some
|
|
terminals or scripts which don't handle backspace characters.
|
|
* **--keep-vcs:** Skip the deletion of the VCS metadata for the created
|
|
project. This is mostly useful if you run the command in non-interactive
|
|
mode.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore `php`, `hhvm`, `lib-*` and `ext-*`
|
|
requirements and force the installation even if the local machine does not
|
|
fulfill these.
|
|
|
|
## dump-autoload
|
|
|
|
If you need to update the autoloader because of new classes in a classmap
|
|
package for example, you can use "dump-autoload" to do that without having to
|
|
go through an install or update.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, it can dump an optimized autoloader that converts PSR-0/4 packages
|
|
into classmap ones for performance reasons. In large applications with many
|
|
classes, the autoloader can take up a substantial portion of every request's
|
|
time. Using classmaps for everything is less convenient in development, but
|
|
using this option you can still use PSR-0/4 for convenience and classmaps for
|
|
performance.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--optimize (-o):** Convert PSR-0/4 autoloading to classmap to get a faster
|
|
autoloader. This is recommended especially for production, but can take
|
|
a bit of time to run so it is currently not done by default.
|
|
* **--classmap-authoritative (-a):** Autoload classes from the classmap only.
|
|
Implicitly enables `--optimize`.
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Disables autoload-dev rules.
|
|
|
|
## clear-cache
|
|
|
|
Deletes all content from Composer's cache directories.
|
|
|
|
## licenses
|
|
|
|
Lists the name, version and license of every package installed. Use
|
|
`--format=json` to get machine readable output.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Remove dev dependencies from the output
|
|
* **--format:** Format of the output: text or json (default: "text")
|
|
|
|
## run-script
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--timeout:** Set the script timeout in seconds, or 0 for no timeout.
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Disable dev mode
|
|
* **--list:** List user defined scripts
|
|
|
|
To run [scripts](articles/scripts.md) manually you can use this command,
|
|
just give it the script name and optionally any required arguments.
|
|
|
|
## exec
|
|
|
|
Executes a vendored binary/script. You can execute any command and this will
|
|
ensure that the Composer bin-dir is pushed on your PATH before the command
|
|
runs.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--list:** List the available composer binaries
|
|
|
|
## diagnose
|
|
|
|
If you think you found a bug, or something is behaving strangely, you might
|
|
want to run the `diagnose` command to perform automated checks for many common
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar diagnose
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## archive
|
|
|
|
This command is used to generate a zip/tar archive for a given package in a
|
|
given version. It can also be used to archive your entire project without
|
|
excluded/ignored files.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar archive vendor/package 2.0.21 --format=zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--format (-f):** Format of the resulting archive: tar or zip (default:
|
|
"tar")
|
|
* **--dir:** Write the archive to this directory (default: ".")
|
|
|
|
## help
|
|
|
|
To get more information about a certain command, just use `help`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
php composer.phar help install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Command-line completion
|
|
|
|
Command-line completion can be enabled by following instructions
|
|
[on this page](https://github.com/bamarni/symfony-console-autocomplete).
|
|
|
|
## Environment variables
|
|
|
|
You can set a number of environment variables that override certain settings.
|
|
Whenever possible it is recommended to specify these settings in the `config`
|
|
section of `composer.json` instead. It is worth noting that the env vars will
|
|
always take precedence over the values specified in `composer.json`.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER
|
|
|
|
By setting the `COMPOSER` env variable it is possible to set the filename of
|
|
`composer.json` to something else.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
COMPOSER=composer-other.json php composer.phar install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The generated lock file will use the same name: `composer-other.lock` in this example.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_ROOT_VERSION
|
|
|
|
By setting this var you can specify the version of the root package, if it can
|
|
not be guessed from VCS info and is not present in `composer.json`.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_VENDOR_DIR
|
|
|
|
By setting this var you can make Composer install the dependencies into a
|
|
directory other than `vendor`.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_BIN_DIR
|
|
|
|
By setting this option you can change the `bin` ([Vendor Binaries](articles/vendor-binaries.md))
|
|
directory to something other than `vendor/bin`.
|
|
|
|
### http_proxy or HTTP_PROXY
|
|
|
|
If you are using Composer from behind an HTTP proxy, you can use the standard
|
|
`http_proxy` or `HTTP_PROXY` env vars. Simply set it to the URL of your proxy.
|
|
Many operating systems already set this variable for you.
|
|
|
|
Using `http_proxy` (lowercased) or even defining both might be preferable since
|
|
some tools like git or curl will only use the lower-cased `http_proxy` version.
|
|
Alternatively you can also define the git proxy using
|
|
`git config --global http.proxy <proxy url>`.
|
|
|
|
### no_proxy
|
|
|
|
If you are behind a proxy and would like to disable it for certain domains, you
|
|
can use the `no_proxy` env var. Simply set it to a comma separated list of
|
|
domains the proxy should *not* be used for.
|
|
|
|
The env var accepts domains, IP addresses, and IP address blocks in CIDR
|
|
notation. You can restrict the filter to a particular port (e.g. `:80`). You
|
|
can also set it to `*` to ignore the proxy for all HTTP requests.
|
|
|
|
### HTTP_PROXY_REQUEST_FULLURI
|
|
|
|
If you use a proxy but it does not support the request_fulluri flag, then you
|
|
should set this env var to `false` or `0` to prevent Composer from setting the
|
|
request_fulluri option.
|
|
|
|
### HTTPS_PROXY_REQUEST_FULLURI
|
|
|
|
If you use a proxy but it does not support the request_fulluri flag for HTTPS
|
|
requests, then you should set this env var to `false` or `0` to prevent Composer
|
|
from setting the request_fulluri option.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_HOME
|
|
|
|
The `COMPOSER_HOME` var allows you to change the Composer home directory. This
|
|
is a hidden, global (per-user on the machine) directory that is shared between
|
|
all projects.
|
|
|
|
By default it points to `C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Composer` on Windows
|
|
and `/Users/<user>/.composer` on OSX. On *nix systems that follow the [XDG Base
|
|
Directory Specifications](http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html),
|
|
it points to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/composer`. On other *nix systems, it points to
|
|
`/home/<user>/.composer`.
|
|
|
|
#### COMPOSER_HOME/config.json
|
|
|
|
You may put a `config.json` file into the location which `COMPOSER_HOME` points
|
|
to. Composer will merge this configuration with your project's `composer.json`
|
|
when you run the `install` and `update` commands.
|
|
|
|
This file allows you to set [repositories](05-repositories.md) and
|
|
[configuration](06-config.md) for the user's projects.
|
|
|
|
In case global configuration matches _local_ configuration, the _local_
|
|
configuration in the project's `composer.json` always wins.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_CACHE_DIR
|
|
|
|
The `COMPOSER_CACHE_DIR` var allows you to change the Composer cache directory,
|
|
which is also configurable via the [`cache-dir`](06-config.md#cache-dir) option.
|
|
|
|
By default it points to $COMPOSER_HOME/cache on \*nix and OSX, and
|
|
`C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Composer` (or `%LOCALAPPDATA%/Composer`) on Windows.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_PROCESS_TIMEOUT
|
|
|
|
This env var controls the time Composer waits for commands (such as git
|
|
commands) to finish executing. The default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_CAFILE
|
|
|
|
By setting this environmental value, you can set a path to a certificate bundle
|
|
file to be used during SSL/TLS peer verification.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_AUTH
|
|
|
|
The `COMPOSER_AUTH` var allows you to set up authentication as an environment variable.
|
|
The contents of the variable should be a JSON formatted object containing http-basic,
|
|
github-oauth, bitbucket-oauth, ... objects as needed, and following the
|
|
[spec from the config](06-config.md#gitlab-oauth).
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_DISCARD_CHANGES
|
|
|
|
This env var controls the [`discard-changes`](06-config.md#discard-changes) config option.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_NO_INTERACTION
|
|
|
|
If set to 1, this env var will make Composer behave as if you passed the
|
|
`--no-interaction` flag to every command. This can be set on build boxes/CI.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_DISABLE_XDEBUG_WARN
|
|
|
|
If set to 1, this env disables the warning about having xdebug enabled.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_ALLOW_SUPERUSER
|
|
|
|
If set to 1, this env disables the warning about running commands as root/super user.
|
|
It also disables automatic clearing of sudo sessions, so you should really only set this
|
|
if you use Composer as super user at all times like in docker containers.
