# 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, call `composer` or `composer list`
|
|
to see the complete list of commands, then `--help` combined with any of those
|
|
can give you more information.
|
|
|
|
As Composer uses [symfony/console](https://github.com/symfony/console) you can call commands by short name if it's not ambiguous.
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar dump
|
|
```
|
|
calls `composer dump-autoload`.
|
|
|
|
## Bash Completions
|
|
|
|
To install bash completions you can run `composer completion bash > completion.bash`.
|
|
This will create a `completion.bash` file in the current directory.
|
|
|
|
Then execute `source completion.bash` to enable it in the current terminal session.
|
|
|
|
Move and rename the `completion.bash` file to `/etc/bash_completion.d/composer` to make
|
|
it load automatically in new terminals.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
* **--no-plugins:** Disables plugins.
|
|
* **--no-scripts:** Skips execution of scripts defined in `composer.json`.
|
|
* **--no-cache:** Disables the use of the cache directory. Same as setting the COMPOSER_CACHE_DIR
|
|
env var to /dev/null (or NUL on Windows).
|
|
* **--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 to do this.
|
|
|
|
When you run the command it will interactively ask you to fill in the fields,
|
|
while using some smart defaults.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar init
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--name:** Name of the package.
|
|
* **--description:** Description of the package.
|
|
* **--author:** Author name of the package.
|
|
* **--type:** Type of 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.
|
|
* **--license (-l):** License of package.
|
|
* **--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 is similar to what the
|
|
[repositories](04-schema.md#repositories) key accepts.
|
|
* **--autoload (-a):** Add a PSR-4 autoload mapping to the composer.json. Automatically maps your package's namespace to the provided directory. (Expects a relative path, e.g. src/) See also [PSR-4 autoload](04-schema.md#psr-4).
|
|
|
|
## install / i
|
|
|
|
The `install` command reads the `composer.json` file from the current
|
|
directory, resolves the dependencies, and installs them into `vendor`.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
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-install:** There are two ways of downloading a package: `source`
|
|
and `dist`. Composer uses `dist` by default. If you pass
|
|
`--prefer-install=source` (or `--prefer-source`) 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.
|
|
To get the legacy behavior where Composer use `source` automatically for dev
|
|
versions of packages, use `--prefer-install=auto`. See also [config.preferred-install](06-config.md#preferred-install).
|
|
Passing this flag will override the config value.
|
|
* **--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.
|
|
* **--download-only:** Download only, do not install packages.
|
|
* **--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. Also see [COMPOSER_NO_DEV](#composer-no-dev).
|
|
* **--no-autoloader:** Skips autoloader generation.
|
|
* **--no-progress:** Removes the progress display that can mess with some
|
|
terminals or scripts which don't handle backspace characters.
|
|
* **--audit:** Run an audit after installation is complete.
|
|
* **--audit-format:** Audit output format. Must be "table", "plain", "json", or "summary" (default).
|
|
* **--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`.
|
|
* **--apcu-autoloader:** Use APCu to cache found/not-found classes.
|
|
* **--apcu-autoloader-prefix:** Use a custom prefix for the APCu autoloader cache.
|
|
Implicitly enables `--apcu-autoloader`.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore all platform requirements (`php`, `hhvm`,
|
|
`lib-*` and `ext-*`) and force the installation even if the local machine does
|
|
not fulfill these.
|
|
See also the [`platform`](06-config.md#platform) config option.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-req:** ignore a specific platform requirement(`php`,
|
|
`hhvm`, `lib-*` and `ext-*`) and force the installation even if the local machine
|
|
does not fulfill it. Multiple requirements can be ignored via wildcard. Appending
|
|
a `+` makes it only ignore the upper-bound of the requirements. For example, if a package
|
|
requires `php: ^7`, then the option `--ignore-platform-req=php+` would allow installing on PHP 8,
|
|
but installation on PHP 5.6 would still fail.
|
|
|
|
## update / u / upgrade
|
|
|
|
In order to get the latest versions of the dependencies and to update the
|
|
`composer.lock` file, you should use the `update` command. This command is also
|
|
aliased as `upgrade` as it does the same as `upgrade` does if you are thinking
|
|
of `apt-get` or similar package managers.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will resolve all dependencies of the project and write the exact versions
|
|
into `composer.lock`.
|
|
|
|
If you only want to update a few packages and not all, you can list them as such:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar update vendor/package vendor/package2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also use wildcards to update a bunch of packages at once:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar update "vendor/*"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to downgrade a package to a specific version without changing your
|
|
composer.json you can use `--with` and provide a custom version constraint:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar update --with vendor/package:2.0.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that with the above all packages will be updated. If you only want to
|
|
update the package(s) for which you provide custom constraints using `--with`,
|
|
you can skip `--with` and instead use constraints with the partial update syntax:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar update vendor/package:2.0.1 vendor/package2:3.0.*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** For packages also required in your composer.json the custom constraint
|
|
> must be a subset of the existing constraint. The composer.json constraints still
|
|
> apply and the composer.json is not modified by these temporary update constraints.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--prefer-install:** There are two ways of downloading a package: `source`
|
|
and `dist`. Composer uses `dist` by default. If you pass
|
|
`--prefer-install=source` (or `--prefer-source`) 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.
|
|
To get the legacy behavior where Composer use `source` automatically for dev
|
|
versions of packages, use `--prefer-install=auto`. See also [config.preferred-install](06-config.md#preferred-install).
|
|
Passing this flag will override the config value.
|
|
* **--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. Also see [COMPOSER_NO_DEV](#composer-no-dev).
|
|
* **--no-install:** Does not run the install step after updating the composer.lock file.
|
|
* **--no-audit:** Does not run the audit steps after updating the composer.lock file. Also see [COMPOSER_NO_AUDIT](#composer-no-audit).
|
|
* **--audit-format:** Audit output format. Must be "table", "plain", "json", or "summary" (default).
|
|
* **--lock:** Overwrites the lock file hash to suppress warning about the lock file being out of
|
|
date without updating package versions. Package metadata like mirrors and URLs are updated if
|
|
they changed.
|
|
* **--with:** Temporary version constraint to add, e.g. foo/bar:1.0.0 or foo/bar=1.0.0
|
|
* **--no-autoloader:** Skips autoloader generation.
|
|
* **--no-progress:** Removes the progress display that can mess with some
|
|
terminals or scripts which don't handle backspace characters.
|
|
* **--with-dependencies (-w):** Update also dependencies of packages in the argument list, except those which are root requirements.
|
|
* **--with-all-dependencies (-W):** Update also dependencies of packages in the argument list, including those which are root requirements.
|
|
* **--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`.
|
|
* **--apcu-autoloader:** Use APCu to cache found/not-found classes.
|
|
* **--apcu-autoloader-prefix:** Use a custom prefix for the APCu autoloader cache.
|
|
Implicitly enables `--apcu-autoloader`.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore all platform requirements (`php`, `hhvm`,
|
|
`lib-*` and `ext-*`) and force the installation even if the local machine does
|
|
not fulfill these.
|
|
See also the [`platform`](06-config.md#platform) config option.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-req:** ignore a specific platform requirement(`php`,
|
|
`hhvm`, `lib-*` and `ext-*`) and force the installation even if the local machine
|
|
does not fulfill it. Multiple requirements can be ignored via wildcard. Appending
|
|
a `+` makes it only ignore the upper-bound of the requirements. For example, if a package
|
|
requires `php: ^7`, then the option `--ignore-platform-req=php+` would allow installing on PHP 8,
|
|
but installation on PHP 5.6 would still fail.
|
|
* **--prefer-stable:** Prefer stable versions of dependencies. Can also be set via the
|
|
COMPOSER_PREFER_STABLE=1 env var.
|
|
* **--prefer-lowest:** Prefer lowest versions of dependencies. Useful for testing minimal
|
|
versions of requirements, generally used with `--prefer-stable`. Can also be set via the
|
|
COMPOSER_PREFER_LOWEST=1 env var.
|
|
* **--minimal-changes (-m):** During a partial update with `-w`/`-W`, only perform absolutely necessary
|
|
changes to transitive dependencies. Can also be set via the COMPOSER_MINIMAL_CHANGES=1 env var.
|
|
* **--interactive:** Interactive interface with autocompletion to select the packages to update.
|
|
* **--root-reqs:** Restricts the update to your first degree dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Specifying one of the words `mirrors`, `lock`, or `nothing` as an argument has the same effect as specifying the option `--lock`, for example `composer update mirrors` is exactly the same as `composer update --lock`.
|
|
|
|
## require / r
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
If you do not specify a package, Composer will prompt you to search for a package, and given
|
|
results, provide a list of matches to require.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
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 pass them
|
|
to the command.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar require "vendor/package:2.*" vendor/package2:dev-master
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you do not specify a version constraint, composer will choose a suitable one based
|
|
on the available package versions.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar require vendor/package vendor/package2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you do not want to install the new dependencies immediately you can call it with --no-update
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--dev:** Add packages to `require-dev`.
|
|
* **--dry-run:** Simulate the command without actually doing anything.
|
|
* **--prefer-install:** There are two ways of downloading a package: `source`
|
|
and `dist`. Composer uses `dist` by default. If you pass
|
|
`--prefer-install=source` (or `--prefer-source`) 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.
|
|

|
|
versions of packages, use `--prefer-install=auto`. See also [config.preferred-install](06-config.md#preferred-install).
|
|
Passing this flag will override the config value.
|
|
* **--no-progress:** Removes the progress display that can mess with some
|
|
terminals or scripts which don't handle backspace characters.
|
|
* **--no-update:** Disables the automatic update of the dependencies (implies --no-install).
|
|
* **--no-install:** Does not run the install step after updating the composer.lock file.
|
|
* **--no-audit:** Does not run the audit steps after updating the composer.lock file. Also see [COMPOSER_NO_AUDIT](#composer-no-audit).
|
|
* **--audit-format:** Audit output format. Must be "table", "plain", "json", or "summary" (default).
|
|
* **--update-no-dev:** Run the dependency update with the `--no-dev` option. Also see [COMPOSER_NO_DEV](#composer-no-dev).
|
|
* **--update-with-dependencies (-w):** Also update dependencies of the newly required packages, except those that are root requirements.
|
|
* **--update-with-all-dependencies (-W):** Also update dependencies of the newly required packages, including those that are root requirements.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore all platform requirements (`php`, `hhvm`,
|
|
`lib-*` and `ext-*`) and force the installation even if the local machine does
|

|
|
COMPOSER_PREFER_LOWEST=1 env var.
|
|
* **--minimal-changes (-m):** During an update with `-w`/`-W`, only perform absolutely necessary
|
|
changes to transitive dependencies. Can also be set via the COMPOSER_MINIMAL_CHANGES=1 env var.

|
|
* **--apcu-autoloader-prefix:** Use a custom prefix for the APCu autoloader cache.
|
|
Implicitly enables `--apcu-autoloader`.
|
|
|
|
## remove / rm / uninstall
|
|
|
|
The `remove` command removes packages from the `composer.json` file from
|
|
the current directory.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar remove vendor/package vendor/package2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After removing the requirements, the modified requirements will be
|
|
uninstalled.
|
|
|
|
### Options

|
|
* **--dev:** Remove packages from `require-dev`.
|
|
* **--dry-run:** Simulate the command without actually doing anything.

|
|
* **--no-audit:** Does not run the audit steps after installation is complete. Also see [COMPOSER_NO_AUDIT](#composer-no-audit).
|
|
* **--audit-format:** Audit output format. Must be "table", "plain", "json", or "summary" (default).
|
|
* **--update-no-dev:** Run the dependency update with the --no-dev option. Also see [COMPOSER_NO_DEV](#composer-no-dev).
|
|
* **--update-with-dependencies (-w):** Also update dependencies of the removed packages.
|
|
(Deprecated, is now default behavior)
|
|
* **--update-with-all-dependencies (-W):** Allows all inherited dependencies to be updated,
|
|
including those that are root requirements.
|
|
* **--minimal-changes (-m):** During an update with `-w`/`-W`, only perform absolutely necessary
|
|
changes to transitive dependencies. Can also be set via the COMPOSER_MINIMAL_CHANGES=1 env var.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore all platform requirements (`php`, `hhvm`,
|
|
`lib-*` and `ext-*`) and force the installation even if the local machine does
|
|
not fulfill these.
|
|
See also the [`platform`](06-config.md#platform) config option.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-req:** ignore a specific platform requirement(`php`,

|
`hhvm`, `lib-*` and `ext-*`) and force the installation even if the local machine
|
|
does not fulfill it. Multiple requirements can be ignored via wildcard.
|
|

|
|
Implicitly enables `--apcu-autoloader`.
|
|
|
|
## bump
|
|
|
|
The `bump` command increases the lower limit of your composer.json requirements
|
|
to the currently installed versions. This helps to ensure your dependencies do not
|
|
accidentally get downgraded due to some other conflict, and can slightly improve
|
|
dependency resolution performance as it limits the amount of package versions
|
|
Composer has to look at.
|
|
|
|
Running this blindly on libraries is **NOT** recommended as it will narrow down
|
|
your allowed dependencies, which may cause dependency hell for your users.
|
|
Running it with `--dev-only` on libraries may be fine however as dev requirements
|
|
are local to the library and do not affect consumers of the package.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--dev-only:** Only bump requirements in "require-dev".
|
|
* **--no-dev-only:** Only bump requirements in "require".
|
|
* **--dry-run:** Outputs the packages to bump, but will not execute anything.
|
|
|
|
## reinstall
|
|
|
|
The `reinstall` command looks up installed packages by name,
|
|
uninstalls them and reinstalls them. This lets you do a clean install
|
|
of a package if you messed with its files, or if you wish to change
|
|
the installation type using --prefer-install.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar reinstall acme/foo acme/bar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can specify more than one package name to reinstall, or use a
|
|
wildcard to select several packages at once:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar reinstall "acme/*"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--prefer-install:** There are two ways of downloading a package: `source`
|
|
and `dist`. Composer uses `dist` by default. If you pass
|
|
`--prefer-install=source` (or `--prefer-source`) 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.
|
|
To get the legacy behavior where Composer use `source` automatically for dev
|
|
versions of packages, use `--prefer-install=auto`. See also [config.preferred-install](06-config.md#preferred-install).
|
|
Passing this flag will override the config value.
|
|
* **--no-autoloader:** Skips autoloader generation.
|
|
* **--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`.
|
|
* **--apcu-autoloader:** Use APCu to cache found/not-found classes.
|
|
* **--apcu-autoloader-prefix:** Use a custom prefix for the APCu autoloader cache.
|
|
Implicitly enables `--apcu-autoloader`.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore all platform requirements. This only
|
|
has an effect in the context of the autoloader generation for the
|
|
reinstall command.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-req:** ignore a specific platform requirement. This only
|
|
has an effect in the context of the autoloader generation for the
|
|
reinstall command. Multiple requirements can be ignored via wildcard.
|
|
|
|
## check-platform-reqs
|
|
|
|
The check-platform-reqs command checks that your PHP and extensions versions
|
|
match the platform requirements of the installed packages. This can be used
|
|
to verify that a production server has all the extensions needed to run a
|
|
project after installing it for example.
|
|
|
|
Unlike update/install, this command will ignore config.platform settings and
|
|
check the real platform packages so you can be certain you have the required
|
|
platform dependencies.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--lock:** Checks requirements only from the lock file, not from installed packages.
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Disables checking of require-dev packages requirements.
|
|
* **--format (-f):** Format of the output: text (default) or json
|
|
|
|
## global
|
|
|
|
The global command allows you to run other commands like `install`, `remove`, `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. Here is an example:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar global require friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now the `php-cs-fixer` binary is available globally. Make sure your global
|
|
[vendor binaries](articles/vendor-binaries.md) directory is in your `$PATH`
|
|
environment variable, you can get its location with the following command :
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar global config bin-dir --absolute
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you wish to update the binary later on you can run a global update:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar global update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## search
|
|
|
|
The search command allows you to search through the current project's package
|
|
repositories. Usually this will be packagist. You pass it the terms you want
|
|
to search for.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
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 package names.
|
|
* **--only-vendor (-O):** Search only for vendor / organization names, returns only "vendor"
|
|
as a result.
|
|
* **--type (-t):** Search for a specific package type.
|
|
* **--format (-f):** Lets you pick between text (default) or json output format.
|
|
Note that in the json, only the name and description keys are guaranteed to be
|
|
present. The rest (`url`, `repository`, `downloads` and `favers`) are available
|
|
for Packagist.org search results and other repositories may return more or less
|
|
data.
|
|
|
|
## show / info
|
|
|
|
To list all of the available packages, you can use the `show` command.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar show
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To filter the list you can pass a package mask using wildcards.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar show "monolog/*"
|
|
```
|
|
```text
|
|
monolog/monolog 2.4.0 Sends your logs to files, sockets, inboxes, databases and various web services
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to see the details of a certain package, you can pass the package
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar show monolog/monolog
|
|
```
|
|
```text

|
the --outdated option.
|
|
|
|
## outdated
|
|
|
|
The `outdated` command shows a list of installed packages that have updates available,
|
|
including their current and latest versions. This is basically an alias for
|
|
`composer show -lo`.
|
|
|
|
The color coding is as such:
|
|
|
|
- **green (=)**: Dependency is in the latest version and is up to date.
|
|
- **yellow (`~`)**: Dependency has a new version available that includes backwards compatibility breaks according to semver, so upgrade when
|
|
you can but it may involve work.
|
|
- **red (!)**: Dependency has a new version that is semver-compatible and you should upgrade it.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|

|
|
* **--no-dev:** Do not show outdated dev dependencies.
|
|
* **--locked:** Shows updates for packages from the lock file, regardless of what is currently in vendor dir.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore all platform requirements (`php`, `hhvm`,
|
|
`lib-*` and `ext-*`) and force the installation even if the local machine does
|
|
not fulfill these.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-req:** ignore a specific platform requirement(`php`,
|
|
`hhvm`, `lib-*` and `ext-*`) and force the installation even if the local machine
|
|
does not fulfill it. Multiple requirements can be ignored via wildcard.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
* **--show (-s):** Only show the homepage or repository URL.
|
|
|
|
## suggests
|
|
|
|
Lists all packages suggested by the 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` (default) or `--by-suggestion` flags to group the output by
|
|
the package offering the suggestions or the suggested packages respectively.
|
|
|
|
If you only want a list of suggested package names, use `--list`.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--by-package:** Groups output by suggesting package (default).
|
|
* **--by-suggestion:** Groups output by suggested package.
|
|
* **--all:** Show suggestions from all dependencies, including transitive ones (by
|
|
default only direct dependencies' suggestions are shown).
|
|
* **--list:** Show only list of suggested package names.
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Excludes suggestions from `require-dev` packages.
|
|
|
|
## fund
|
|
|
|
Discover how to help fund the maintenance of your dependencies. This lists
|
|
all funding links from the installed dependencies. Use `--format=json` to
|
|
get machine-readable output.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--format (-f):** Lets you pick between text (default) or json output format.
|
|
|
|
## depends / why
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar depends doctrine/lexer
|
|
```
|
|
```text
|
|
doctrine/annotations 1.13.3 requires doctrine/lexer (1.*)
|
|
doctrine/common 2.13.3 requires doctrine/lexer (^1.0)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar depends psr/log -t
|
|
```
|
|
```text
|
|
psr/log 1.1.4 Common interface for logging libraries
|
|
├──composer/composer 2.4.x-dev (requires psr/log ^1.0 || ^2.0 || ^3.0)
|
|
├──composer/composer dev-main (requires psr/log ^1.0 || ^2.0 || ^3.0)
|
|
├──composer/xdebug-handler 3.0.3 (requires psr/log ^1 || ^2 || ^3)
|
|
│ ├──composer/composer 2.4.x-dev (requires composer/xdebug-handler ^2.0.2 || ^3.0.3)
|
|
│ └──composer/composer dev-main (requires composer/xdebug-handler ^2.0.2 || ^3.0.3)
|
|
└──symfony/console v5.4.11 (conflicts psr/log >=3) (circular dependency aborted here)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--recursive (-r):** Recursively resolves up to the root package.
|
|
* **--tree (-t):** Prints the results as a nested tree, implies -r.
|
|
|
|
## prohibits / why-not
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar prohibits symfony/symfony 3.1
|
|
```
|
|
```text
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar prohibits php 8
|
|
```
|
|
```text
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar validate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--no-check-all:** Do not emit a warning if requirements in `composer.json` use unbound or overly strict 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.
|
|
* **--with-dependencies:** Also validate the composer.json of all installed dependencies.
|
|
* **--strict:** Return a non-zero exit code for warnings as well as errors.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With the `--verbose` option you get some more information about what was
|
|
changed:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar status -v
|
|
```
|
|
```text
|
|
You have changes in the following dependencies:
|
|
vendor/seld/jsonlint:
|
|
M README.mdown
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## self-update / selfupdate
|
|
|
|
To update Composer itself to the latest version, run the `self-update`
|
|
command. It will replace your `composer.phar` with the latest version.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar self-update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you would like to instead update to a specific release specify it:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar self-update 2.4.0-RC1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo -H composer self-update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If Composer was not installed as a PHAR, this command is not available.
|
|
(This is sometimes the case when Composer was installed by an operating system package manager.)
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
* **--no-progress:** Do not output download progress.
|
|
* **--update-keys:** Prompt user for a key update.
|
|
* **--stable:** Force an update to the stable channel.
|
|
* **--preview:** Force an update to the preview channel.
|
|
* **--snapshot:** Force an update to the snapshot channel.
|
|
* **--1:** Force an update to the stable channel, but only use 1.x versions
|
|
* **--2:** Force an update to the stable channel, but only use 2.x versions
|
|
* **--set-channel-only:** Only store the channel as the default one and then exit
|
|
|
|
## config
|
|
|
|
The `config` command allows you to edit Composer config settings and repositories
|
|
in either the local `composer.json` file or the global `config.json` file.
|
|
|
|
Additionally it lets you edit most properties in the local `composer.json`.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
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`), multiple setting-value arguments are allowed.
|
|
|
|
You can also edit the values of the following properties:
|
|
|
|
`description`, `homepage`, `keywords`, `license`, `minimum-stability`,
|
|
`name`, `prefer-stable`, `type` and `version`.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
* **--auth (-a):** Affect auth config file (only used for --editor).
|
|
* **--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.
|
|
* **--json:** JSON decode the setting value, to be used with `extra.*` keys.
|
|
* **--merge:** Merge the setting value with the current value, to be used with `extra.*` keys in combination with `--json`.
|
|
* **--append:** When adding a repository, append it (lowest priority) to the existing ones instead of prepending it (highest priority).
|
|
* **--source:** Display where the config value is loaded from.
|
|
|
|
### 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:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
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 :
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar config repositories.foo '{"type": "vcs", "url": "http://svn.example.org/my-project/", "trunk-path": "master"}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Modifying Extra Values
|
|
|
|
In addition to modifying the config section, the `config` command also supports making
|
|
changes to the extra section by using it the following way:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar config extra.foo.bar value
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The dots indicate array nesting, a max depth of 3 levels is allowed though. The above
|
|
would set `"extra": { "foo": { "bar": "value" } }`.
|
|
|
|
If you have a complex value to add/modify, you can use the `--json` and `--merge` flags
|
|
to edit extra fields as json:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar config --json extra.foo.bar '{"baz": true, "qux": []}'
|

|
## 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 a third argument, otherwise the latest version is used.
|
|
|
|
If the directory does not currently exist, it will be created during installation.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
* **--stability (-s):** Minimum stability of package. Defaults to `stable`.
|
|
* **--prefer-install:** There are two ways of downloading a package: `source`
|
|
and `dist`. Composer uses `dist` by default. If you pass
|
|
`--prefer-install=source` (or `--prefer-source`) 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.
|
|
To get the legacy behavior where Composer use `source` automatically for dev
|
|
versions of packages, use `--prefer-install=auto`. See also [config.preferred-install](06-config.md#preferred-install).
|
|
Passing this flag will override the config value.
|
|
* **--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. You can use this multiple times to configure multiple repositories.
|
|
* **--add-repository:** Add the custom repository in the composer.json. If a lock
|
|
file is present, it will be deleted and an update will be run instead of an install.
|
|
* **--dev:** Install packages listed in `require-dev`.
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Disables installation of require-dev packages.
|
|
* **--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.
|
|
* **--no-secure-http:** Disable the secure-http config option temporarily while
|
|
installing the root package. Use at your own risk. Using this flag is a bad
|
|
idea.
|
|
* **--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.
|
|
* **--remove-vcs:** Force-remove the VCS metadata without prompting.
|
|
* **--no-install:** Disables installation of the vendors.
|
|
* **--no-audit:** Does not run the audit steps after installation is complete. Also see [COMPOSER_NO_AUDIT](#composer-no-audit).
|
|
* **--audit-format:** Audit output format. Must be "table", "plain", "json", or "summary" (default).
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore all platform requirements (`php`, `hhvm`,
|
|
`lib-*` and `ext-*`) and force the installation even if the local machine does
|
|
not fulfill these.
|
|
See also the [`platform`](06-config.md#platform) config option.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-req:** ignore a specific platform requirement(`php`,
|
|
`hhvm`, `lib-*` and `ext-*`) and force the installation even if the local machine
|
|
does not fulfill it. Multiple requirements can be ignored via wildcard.
|
|
* **--ask:** Ask the user to provide a target directory for the new project.
|
|
|
|
## dump-autoload / dumpautoload
|
|
|
|
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`.
|
|
* **--apcu:** Use APCu to cache found/not-found classes.
|
|
* **--apcu-prefix:** Use a custom prefix for the APCu autoloader cache.
|
|
Implicitly enables `--apcu`.
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Disables autoload-dev rules. Composer will by default infer this
|
|
automatically according to the last `install` or `update` `--no-dev` state.
|
|
* **--dev:** Enables autoload-dev rules. Composer will by default infer this
|
|
automatically according to the last `install` or `update` `--no-dev` state.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-reqs:** ignore all `php`, `hhvm`, `lib-*` and `ext-*`
|
|
requirements and skip the [platform check](07-runtime.md#platform-check) for these.
|
|
See also the [`platform`](06-config.md#platform) config option.
|
|
* **--ignore-platform-req:** ignore a specific platform requirement (`php`, `hhvm`,
|
|
`lib-*` and `ext-*`) and skip the [platform check](07-runtime.md#platform-check) for it.
|
|
Multiple requirements can be ignored via wildcard.
|
|
* **--strict-psr:** Return a failed exit code (1) if PSR-4 or PSR-0 mapping errors
|
|
are present. Requires --optimize to work.
|
|
|
|
## clear-cache / clearcache / cc
|
|
|
|
Deletes all content from Composer's cache directories.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--gc:** Only run garbage collection, not a full cache clear
|
|
|
|
## licenses
|
|
|
|
Lists the name, version and license of every package installed. Use
|
|
`--format=json` to get machine-readable output.
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--format:** Format of the output: text, json or summary (default: "text")
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Remove dev dependencies from the output
|
|
|
|
## run-script / run
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--timeout:** Set the script timeout in seconds, or 0 for no timeout.
|
|
* **--dev:** Sets the dev mode.
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Disable dev mode.
|
|
* **--list (-l):** List user defined scripts.
|
|
|
|
To run [scripts](articles/scripts.md) manually you can use this command,
|
|
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 (-l):** 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.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar archive vendor/package 2.0.21 --format=zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--format (-f):** Format of the resulting archive: tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2
|
|
or zip (default: "tar").
|
|
* **--dir:** Write the archive to this directory (default: ".")
|
|
* **--file:** Write the archive with the given file name.
|
|
|
|
## audit
|
|
|
|
This command is used to audit the packages you have installed
|
|
for possible security issues. It checks for and
|
|
lists security vulnerability advisories according to the
|
|
[Packagist.org api](https://packagist.org/apidoc#list-security-advisories).
|
|
|
|
The audit command returns the amount of vulnerabilities found. `0` if successful, and up to `255` otherwise.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar audit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
* **--no-dev:** Disables auditing of require-dev packages.
|
|
* **--format (-f):** Audit output format. Must be "table" (default), "plain", "json", or "summary".
|
|
* **--locked:** Audit packages from the lock file, regardless of what is currently in vendor dir.
|
|
* **--abandoned:** Behavior on abandoned packages. Must be "ignore", "report",
|
|
or "fail". See also [audit.abandoned](06-config.md#abandoned). Passing this
|
|
flag will override the config value and the environment variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## help
|
|
|
|
To get more information about a certain command, you can use `help`.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
php composer.phar help install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Command-line completion
|
|
|
|
Command-line completion can be enabled by running the `composer completion --help` command and
|
|
following the instructions.
|
|
|
|
## 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:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
COMPOSER=composer-other.json php composer.phar install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The generated lock file will use the same name: `composer-other.lock` in this example.
|
|
|
|
### 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 a super user at all times like in docker containers.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_ALLOW_XDEBUG
|
|
|
|
If set to 1, this env allows running Composer when the Xdebug extension is enabled, without restarting PHP without it.
|
|
|
|
### 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](articles/authentication-for-private-packages.md),
|
|
and following the
|
|
[spec from the config](06-config.md).
|
|
|
|
### 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`.
|
|
|
|
### 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 `C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Composer` (or `%LOCALAPPDATA%/Composer`) on Windows.
|
|
On \*nix systems that follow the [XDG Base
|
|
Directory Specifications](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html),
|
|
it points to `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/composer`. On other \*nix systems and on macOS, it points to
|
|
`$COMPOSER_HOME/cache`.
|
|
|
|
### 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_DISABLE_XDEBUG_WARN
|
|
|
|
If set to 1, this env suppresses a warning when Composer is running with the Xdebug extension enabled.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_DISCARD_CHANGES
|
|
|
|
This env var controls the [`discard-changes`](06-config.md#discard-changes) config option.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_FUND
|
|
|
|
If set to 0, this env suppresses funding notices when installing.
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
Use `composer config --global home` to see the location of the home directory.
|
|
|
|
By default, it points to `C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Composer` on Windows
|
|
and `/Users/<user>/.composer` on macOS. On \*nix systems that follow the [XDG Base
|
|
Directory Specifications](https://specifications.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 partially (only `config` and `repositories` keys) 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_HTACCESS_PROTECT
|
|
|
|
Defaults to `1`. If set to `0`, Composer will not create `.htaccess` files in the
|
|
Composer home, cache, and data directories.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT
|
|
|
|
If set, the value is used as php's memory_limit.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_MIRROR_PATH_REPOS
|
|
|
|
If set to 1, this env changes the default path repository strategy to `mirror` instead
|
|
of `symlink`. As it is the default strategy being set it can still be overwritten by
|
|
repository options.
|
|
|
|
### 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_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_ROOT_VERSION
|
|
|
|
By setting this var you can specify the version of the root package, if it
|
|
cannot 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_RUNTIME_ENV
|
|
|
|
This lets you hint under which environment Composer is running, which can help Composer
|
|
work around some environment specific issues. The only value currently supported is
|
|
`virtualbox`, which then enables some short `sleep()` calls to wait for the filesystem
|
|
to have written files properly before we attempt reading them. You can set the
|
|
environment variable if you use Vagrant or VirtualBox and experience issues with files not
|
|
being found during installation even though they should be present.
|
|
|
|
### http_proxy or HTTP_PROXY
|
|
### HTTP_PROXY_REQUEST_FULLURI
|
|
### HTTPS_PROXY_REQUEST_FULLURI
|
|
### no_proxy or NO_PROXY
|
|
|
|
See the [proxy documentation](faqs/how-to-use-composer-behind-a-proxy.md) for more details
|
|
on how to use proxy env vars.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_AUDIT_ABANDONED
|
|
|
|
Set to `ignore`, `report` or `fail` to override the [audit.abandoned](06-config.md#abandoned)
|
|
config option.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_MAX_PARALLEL_HTTP
|
|
|
|
Set to an integer to configure how many files can be downloaded in parallel. This
|
|
defaults to 12 and must be between 1 and 50. If your proxy has issues with
|
|
concurrency maybe you want to lower this. Increasing it should generally not result
|
|
in performance gains.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_IPRESOLVE
|
|
|
|
Set to `4` or `6` to force IPv4 or IPv6 DNS resolution. This only works when the
|
|
curl extension is used for downloads.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_SELF_UPDATE_TARGET
|
|
|
|
If set, makes the self-update command write the new Composer phar file into that path instead of overwriting itself. Useful for updating Composer on a read-only filesystem.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_DISABLE_NETWORK
|
|
|
|
If set to `1`, disables network access (best effort). This can be used for debugging or
|
|
to run Composer on a plane or a starship with poor connectivity.
|
|
|
|
If set to `prime`, GitHub VCS repositories will prime the cache, so it can then be used
|
|
fully offline with `1`.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_DEBUG_EVENTS
|
|
|
|
If set to `1`, outputs information about events being dispatched, which can be
|
|
useful for plugin authors to identify what is firing when exactly.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_NO_AUDIT
|
|
|
|
If set to `1`, it is the equivalent of passing the `--no-audit` option to `require`, `update`, `remove` or `create-project` command.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_NO_DEV
|
|
|
|
If set to `1`, it is the equivalent of passing the `--update-no-dev` option to `require`
|
|
or the `--no-dev` option to `install` or `update`. You can override this for a single
|
|
command by setting `COMPOSER_NO_DEV=0`.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_PREFER_STABLE
|
|
|
|
If set to `1`, it is the equivalent of passing the `--prefer-stable` option to
|
|
`update` or `require`.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_PREFER_LOWEST
|
|
|
|
If set to `1`, it is the equivalent of passing the `--prefer-lowest` option to
|
|
`update` or `require`.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_MINIMAL_CHANGES
|
|
|
|
If set to `1`, it is the equivalent of passing the `--minimal-changes` option to
|
|
`update`, `require` or `remove`.
|
|
|
|
### COMPOSER_IGNORE_PLATFORM_REQ or COMPOSER_IGNORE_PLATFORM_REQS
|
|
|
|
If `COMPOSER_IGNORE_PLATFORM_REQS` set to `1`, it is the equivalent of passing the `--ignore-platform-reqs` argument.
|
|
Otherwise, specifying a comma separated list in `COMPOSER_IGNORE_PLATFORM_REQ` will ignore those specific requirements.
|
|
|
|
For example, if a development workstation will never run database queries, this can be used to ignore the requirement for the database extensions to be available. If you set `COMPOSER_IGNORE_PLATFORM_REQ=ext-oci8`, then composer will allow packages to be installed even if the `oci8` PHP extension is not enabled.
