I replaced all php references with php70 and it worked great!

Thank you for that comment. I was racking my brain trying to get some php7 dependencies to work. I can verify that replacing instances of php54 with php70 did work.

A few small updates:

cd $HOME
ln -s `which php56` ~/bin/php
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php56
echo -e "\n# Composer\nalias composer=\"php56 \$HOME/bin/composer.phar\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

A few small updates:

cd $HOME
ln -s `which php72` ~/bin/php
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php72
echo -e "\n# Composer\nalias composer=\"php72 \$HOME/bin/composer.phar\"" >> 
$HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

A few small updates:

cd $HOME
ln -s `which php72` ~/bin/php
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php72
echo -e "\n# Composer\nalias composer=\"php72 \$HOME/bin/composer.phar\"" >> 
$HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Using this I got:

echo -e "\n# Composer\nalias composer=\"php72 \$HOME/bin/composer.phar\"" >>

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token newline'`

Updated for PHP 7.2:

cd $HOME
ln -s `which php72` ~/bin/php
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php72
echo -e "\n# Composer\nalias composer=\"php72 \$HOME/bin/composer.phar\"" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Wow! Nice!

If I do composer --version
then
Could not open input file: /home/{username}/bin/composer.phar

Update working fine
I change directory to /bin and then command it is working fine.
