Answer 1

To install composer and add to your global path:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

run these in terminal. It does say if you get an error that usr doesn't exist, you do need to manually make it. I know an answer was selected, so this is for anyone who may see this in the future, as i am sometimes, and don't want to be advised to visit yet another site. Its simple just two lines, might have to be in sudo if you have permission error
