how to install composer globally on macOS

Downloading directly from the composer website

Copy and paste that link – https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar – to your browser. It’s always the latest version of Composer.

After getting it, open your terminal to test it. You need just run that command:

php ~/Downloads/composer.phar --version

I assume that you don’t want to write … every time when you need to use a composer. Let’s move it to bin directory.

cp ~/Downloads/composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer

That second command makes your composer executable. Let’s try again, type that command:

composer --version
