+===== Composer Installation =====
+Composer has an awesome description and installation guide on its webpage. You can use the following link: [[https://getcomposer.org/download/]] and see the section that "Command-line installation". I am just referencing the same code here:
+It is better to go your home directory first:
+<code bash>
+cd ~
+</code>
+== 1. Download the terminal script ==
+<code bash>
+php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
+</code>
+== 2. Check the hash file ==
+<code bash>
+php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'c8b085408188070d5f52bcfe4ecfbee5f727afa458b2573b8eaaf77b3419b0bf2768dc67c86944da1544f06fa544fd47') { echo 'Installer verified'.PHP_EOL; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'.PHP_EOL; unlink('composer-setup.php'); exit(1); }"
+</code>
+It should return the following message: **Installer verified**
+== 3. Run the Script ==
+<code bash>
+php composer-setup.php
+</code>
+It should return the following message:
+<code bash>
+All settings correct for using Composer
+Downloading...
+Composer (version 2.9.2) successfully installed to: /home/USER/composer.phar
+Use it: php composer.phar
+</code>
+== 4. Delete (Unlink) the File ==
+<code bash>
+php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
+</code>
+== 5. Add it to the PATH ==
+Then you can add the composer into your PATH to access the composer with just running `composer` command from any directory:
+<code bash>
+sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
+</code>
+== 6. Test the Installation ==
+<code bash>
+composer --version
+</code>
+You need to see something similar like:
+<code bash>
+Composer version 2.9.2 2025-11-19 21:57:25
+PHP version 8.4.15 (/usr/bin/php8.4)
+Run the "diagnose" command to get more detailed diagnostics output.
