About ----- [](#about) When using the [Composer Package Manager](https://getcomposer.org/), you may find the need to reinstall a given package, either after making changes, or because the package's installation was otherwise damaged. Composer [doesn't provide](https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/3112) this command itself, as such, there isn't a way to handle this process. The package provides a reinstall command for composer. ### How it works [](#how-it-works) The reinstall command leverages composers installation mechinism, in order to ensure that the package gets installed correctly. In order to force composer to reinstall a package, you need to remove the package from the system, and then run `composer install`, to download any missing dependencies. With the new command, the package(s) are removed from the filesystem and then the installer is used to redownload the packages. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Either add this package to the local or global composer install. To add the package to your project run the following command. ``` composer require roygoldman/composer-reinstall ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Once the package is installed, you should run the following command to reinstall a given package or set of packages. ``` composer reinstall vendor/package [vendor/package2 ...] ``` ### Options [](#options) The following options are available for the `reinstall` command. These options effect how composer handles package installation. ``` --apcu-autoloader Use APCu to cache found/not-found classes. -a, --classmap-authoritative Autoload classes from the classmap only. Implicitly enables `--optimize-autoloader`. --dry-run Outputs the operations but will not execute anything (implicitly enables --verbose). --no-autoloader Skips autoloader generation. --no-dev Disables installation of require-dev packages. --no-progress Do not output download progress. --no-scripts Skips the execution of all scripts defined in composer.json file. --no-suggest Do not show package suggestions. --prefer-source Forces installation from package sources when possible, including VCS information. --prefer-dist Forces installation from package dist even for dev versions. -o, --optimize-autoloader Optimize autoloader during autoloader dump. -h, --help Display this help message -q, --quiet Do not output any message -V, --version Display this application version --ansi Force ANSI output --no-ansi Disable ANSI output -n, --no-interaction Do not ask any interactive question --profile Display timing and memory usage information --no-plugins Whether to disable plugins. -d, --working-dir=WORKING-DIR If specified, use the given directory as working directory. -v|vv|vvv, --verbose Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug ``` ### Health Score 23 — LowBetter than 27% of packages Maintenance0 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity16 Limited adoption so far Community4 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
