Composer¶

Synopsis¶

Composer is an application-level dependency manager for the PHP programming language that provides a standard format for managing dependencies of PHP software and required libraries.

It allows you to declare the dependent libraries your project needs and it will install them in your project for you. Composer is multi-platform and we strive to make it run equally well on Windows, Linux and OSX.
