Installation of Composer
Use the following commands in your terminal to install Composer :
cd ~ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
When moved to /usr/local/bin/composer, just type composer from any folder to run it.
Upgrade
Just type the following command to update Composer
composer self-update
Downgrade
Composer version 2.1.14 is currently the last version not impacted by the case sensitive package name issue blocking installations and updates of Mediawiki extensions. To downgrade, just use the self-update command with the version required.
composer self-update 2.1.14
After performing any self-update, with or without version specific, you can specify --rollback to go back to the previously installed version.
composer self-update --rollback
pre-release version
Finally, if you are feeling adventurous, you can update to a pre-release version by executing:
composer self-update --preview
