Is there any way to install Composer globally on Windows?

Question

I\'ve read the global installation documentation for Composer, but it\'s for *nix systems only:

curl -s https://ge         


        

Answer 1

Sure. Just put composer.phar somewhere like C:\php\composer.phar, then make a batch file somewhere within the PATH called composer.bat which does the following:

@ECHO OFF
php "%~dp0composer.phar" %*

The "%*" repeats all of the arguments passed to the shell script.

Then you can run around doing composer update all ya want!
