First, to get php into your path see my answer here

Installing composer is explained nicely here (code below just for illustration. Be sure to get latest from the link)

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'e115a8dc7871f15d853148a7fbac7da27d6c0030b848d9b3dc09e2a0388afed865e6a3d6b3c0fad45c48e2b5fc1196ae') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

A quick check to confirm it worked:

    $ php composer.phar --version
    Composer version 1.2.1 2016-09-12 11:27:19
