Composer - Dependency Management for PHP
========================================
Composer helps you declare, manage and install dependencies of PHP projects, ensuring you have the right stack everywhere.
See [https://getcomposer.org/](https://getcomposer.org/) for more information and documentation.
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/composer/composer.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/composer/composer)
Installation / Usage
--------------------
1. Download the [`composer.phar`](https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar) executable or use the installer.
``` sh
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
```
2. 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
[documentation](http://getcomposer.org/doc/02-libraries.md).
``` json
{
"require": {
"monolog/monolog": ">=1.0.0"
}
}
```
3. Run Composer: `php composer.phar install`
4. Browse for more packages on [Packagist](https://packagist.org).
Global installation of Composer (manual)

Follow instructions [in the documentation](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally)

install with the latest version.
