Composer Setup

Step 1 - Editing your php.ini

Un-comment extension=phar.so
Un-comment extension=openssl.so
Go to open_basedir declaration (line 309 for me) - Add ":/user/local/bin/:/root/" to the end


Step 2 - Download & Install Composer (www.getcomposer.com)

 curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
(sudo) mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer


Step 3 - Restart Httpd Server

sudo systemctl restart httpd


Step 4 - Update Composer (Recommended)

(sudo) composer self-update
