AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Composer

Question

I have an application with Composer dependencies which I want to deploy to an Elastic Beanstalk container. However my composer.json file is not in the project root folder.

Answer 1

Composer is already installed default in Beanstalk's PHP AMI.

Also consider that container_commands are ran through '/var/app/ondeck' and not on current. Try something like this:

container_commands:
  01-install-packages:
    command: "composer.phar install -d /var/app/ondeck/www"
