Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
decomposer # Opens the interactive UI
decomposer --all # Deletes all vendor directories without interaction
```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer global require martinshaw/decomposer
```

This will install the `decomposer` command in your global composer bin directory, which is usually `~/.composer/vendor/bin` or `~/.config/composer/vendor/bin` on Unix systems and `%APPDATA%\Composer\vendor\bin` on Windows.

To access the `decomposer` command from anywhere, you need to add the global composer bin directory to your system's PATH environment variable.

### On Windows

[](#on-windows)

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Click on System and Security.
3. Click on System.
4. Click on Advanced system settings.
5. Click on Environment Variables.
6. Under System variables, find and select the `Path` variable, then click on Edit.
7. Click on New and add the path to your global composer bin directory.
8. Click on OK on all windows to apply the changes.

### On Linux and macOS

[](#on-linux-and-macos)

Depending on if your global composer bin directory is `~/.composer/vendor/bin` or `~/.config/composer/vendor/bin`, you need to add the following line to your `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, or `~/.profile` file:

```
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"
```

or

```
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin"
```

Then, run the following command to apply the changes:

```
source ~/.bashrc
```

or `source ~/.zshrc` or `source ~/.profile` depending on which file you added the line to.
