Installation

First, ensure that we’ve installed PHP by this command:

Download the Composer installer script:

sudo wget https://getcomposer.org/installer -O composer-installer.php

Run the following command to install Composer in the /usr/bin directory:

sudo php composer-installer.php --filename=composer --install-dir=/usr/bin

You’ll set the output like this:
