PHP dependency manager
Composer is an essential tool for the work of PHP developers. This PHP dependency manager is capable of checking and indicating which components and libraries are missing from your web project and what versions are required, downloading and installing them, sparing you the dirty work.
A package manager
It may seem like a package manager, but the creators of Composer are quite clear: it is a dependency manager. Unlike package managers, Composer works directly with your projects, and therefore,installs the dependencies directly in the directories involved.
How Composer works
If you usually work with PHP, download Composer for free and forget about all your dependencies.
Requirements and additional information:
- Requires PHP 5.3.2 or above.
- Requires an Internet connection to complete the installation.
