## Composer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Composer is a package manager for PHP packages. You use a `composer.json` file to configure the packages for a PHP project, similar to the `package.json` file in NodeJS projects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Install Composer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install Composer, you first have to download it from <a href='https://getcomposer.org/download/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>getcomposer.org</a>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can then install Composer locally or globally.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Install Packages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install packages with `composer install`. Composer will install the packages listed in the `composer.json` file to the vendor/ folder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
composer install
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
