### How to Install Composer
You can install Composer locally (in your current working directory) or globally (e.g. /usr/local/bin, recommended).
Let's assume you want to install Composer globally:
The safest way to download composer is by [following the official instructions](https://getcomposer.org/download/).
This will verify the installer is not corrupt or tampered with.
The installer installs Composer *locally*, in your current working directory.
We recommend installing it *globally* (e.g. a single copy in /usr/local/bin) - to do so, run this afterwards:
{% highlight console %}
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
{% endhighlight %}
**Note:** If the above fails due to permissions, run the `mv` line again with `sudo`.
**Note:** If the above fails due to permissions, prefix with `sudo`.
This will download `composer.phar` (a PHP binary archive). You can run this with `php` to manage your project
dependencies.
**Please Note:** If you pipe downloaded code directly into an interpreter, please read the
code online first to confirm it is safe.
To run a locally installed Composer you'd use `php composer.phar`, globally it's simply `composer`.
