Composer - Dependency Management for PHP
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
Composer is a dependency manager tracking local dependencies of your projects and libraries.
|
|
|
|
See [https://getcomposer.org/](https://getcomposer.org/) for more information and documentation.
|
|
|
|
[](http://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).
|
|
|
|
Installation from Source
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
To run tests, or develop Composer itself, you must use the sources and not the phar
|
|
file as described above.
|
|
|
|
1. Run `git clone https://github.com/composer/composer.git`
|
|
2. Download the [`composer.phar`](https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar) executable
|
|
3. Run Composer to get the dependencies: `cd composer && php ../composer.phar install`
|
|
|
|
You can now run Composer by executing the `bin/composer` script: `php /path/to/composer/bin/composer`
|
|
|
|
Global installation of Composer (manual)
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Follow instructions [in the documentation](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally)
|
|
|
|
Global installation of Composer (for OSX/homebrew)
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Composer is part of the homebrew-php project.
|
|
|
|
1. Tap the homebrew-php repository into your brew installation if you haven't done yet: `brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php`
|
|
2. Run `brew install josegonzalez/php/composer`.
|
|
3. Use Composer with the `composer` command.
|
|
|
|
Updating Composer
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Running `php composer.phar self-update` or equivalent will update a phar
|
|
install with the latest version.
|
