Just as Node.JS has NPM or Ruby has Bundler, in PHP we have PHP Composer. It is a package manager that makes it easier for us to manage the depedencies of the libraries we work with our PHP Projects.

Installing PHP Composer

If you are a windows user, just download the installer always from their official site: https://getcomposer.org/Composer-Setup.exe

I personally work with Debian Linux, but the steps i am going to show you work similarly in Ubuntu and other Debian child distributions.

We download the PHP Composer

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer -o composer-setup.php

We execute your installation

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

Executing the above will throw us the following over the command line.
