Download the [`composer.phar`](https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar) executable or use the installer. ``` $ 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). ``` { "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 ------------------------ [](#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) ---------------------------------------- [](#global-installation-of-composer-manual) Follow instructions [in the documentation](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally) Updating Composer ----------------- [](#updating-composer) Running `php composer.phar self-update` or equivalent will update a phar install with the latest version. Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) All code contributions - including those of people having commit access - must go through a pull request and approved by a core developer before being merged. This is to ensure proper review of all the code. Fork the project, create a feature branch, and send us a pull request. To ensure a consistent code base, you should make sure the code follows the [Coding Standards](http://symfony.com/doc/current/contributing/code/standards.html)which we borrowed from Symfony. If you would like to help take a look at the [list of issues](http://github.com/composer/composer/issues). Community --------- [](#community) Mailing lists for [user support](http://groups.google.com/group/composer-users) and [development](http://groups.google.com/group/composer-dev). IRC channels are on irc.freenode.org: #composer for users and #composer-dev for development. Stack Overflow has a growing collection of [Composer related questions](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/composer-php).
