To quickly install composer on ubuntu 20.04 you want to run the following commands. Make sure you are in your own home directory.
- sudo apt install wget php-cli php-zip unzip -y
- wget -O composer-setup.php https://getcomposer.org/installer
- sudo php composer-setup.php –install-dir=/usr/bin –filename=composer
Look at the –install-dir=/usr/bin. A lot of guides tell you to install it into the directory /usr/bin/local
I did that at first which gave me the error:
-bash: /usr/bin/composer: No such file or directory
If you also get this error simply move the composer file from your /usr/bin/local to /usr/bin/ with the following command.
- mv /usr/bin/local/composer /usr/bin/composer
