Composer |
||||
======== |
||||
|
||||
Yii2 uses Composer as its package manager. It is a PHP utility that allows you to automatically install libraries and |
||||
extensions keeping them up to date and handling dependencies. |
||||
|
||||
Installing Composer |
||||
------------------- |
||||
|
||||
Check the official guide for [linux](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-nix) or |
||||
[Windows](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-windows). |
||||
|
||||
Adding more packages to your project |
||||
------------------------------------ |
||||
|
||||
After [installing an application](installing.md) you will find `composer.json` in the root directory of your project. |
||||
This file lists packages that your application uses. The part we're interested in is `require` section. |
||||
|
||||
``` |
||||
{ |
||||
"require": { |
||||
"Michelf/php-markdown": ">=1.3", |
||||
"ezyang/htmlpurifier": ">=4.5.0" |
||||
} |
||||
} |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Here you can specify package name and version. Additionally to Yii extensions you may check |
||||
[packagist](http://packagist.org/) repository for general purpose PHP packages. |
||||
|
||||
After packages are specified you can type either |
||||
|
||||
``` |
||||
php composer.phar install |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
or |
||||
|
||||
``` |
||||
php composer.phar update |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
depending if you're doing it for the first time or not. Then, after some waiting, packages will be installed and ready |
||||
to use. You don't need anything to be configured additionally. |
||||
