Video Runtime: 14:16
Recorded: March 27, 2018
Composer is our dependency manager for PHP. It gives a standardized and globally accepted tool to import different packages into our projects as well as run different tasks.
In order to globally install it on a Windows machine, you need to install PHP and Visual C++
Redistributable. Don’t worry. I’ll walk you through the entire process.
Helpful Commands
A few helpful commands for you:
composer -h – view the help information

Hands off the keyboard. Web development starts by thinking first, then planning it out, and then coding it.
