Composer - Package Management for PHP
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
Composer is a package manager tracking local dependencies of your projects and libraries.
|
|
|
|
See the [about page](http://packagist.org/about) on [packagist.org](http://packagist.org/) for more information.

|
|
|
|
Installation / Usage
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Download the [`composer.phar`](http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar) executable
|
|
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 [guidelines](http://packagist.org/about).
|
|
|
|
``` json
|
|
{
|
|
"require": {
|
|
"monolog/monolog": ">=1.0.0"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Run Composer: `php composer.phar install`
|
|
4. Browse for more packages on [Packagist](http://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`](http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar) executable
|
|
3. Run Composer to get the dependencies: `php composer.phar install`
|
|
|
|
Global installation of composer
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Since composer works with the current working directory it is possible to install it
|
|
in a system wide way.
|
|
|
|
1. Change into a directory in your path like `cd /usr/local/bin`
|
|
2. Get composer `wget http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar`
|
|
3. Make the phar executeable `chmod a+x composer.phar`
|
|
3. Change into a project directory `cd /path/to/my/project`
|
|
4. Use composer as you normally would `composer.phar install`
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Additional options for composer can be configured in `composer.json` by using the `config` section.
|
|
|
|
``` json
|
|
{
|
|
"config": {
|
|
"vendor-dir": "custom/path/for/vendor"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `vendor-dir`: The location to install vendor packages. The location can be supplied as an absolute or relative path but **must** be within the current working directory.
|
