How to Install Composer in windows
Today will learn how to install composer in windows 10 operating system.
Firstly will get what is composer and how to use it Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you.
Dependency management
Composer is not a package manager in the same sense as Yum or Apt are. Yes, it deals with "packages" or libraries, but it manages them on a per-project basis, installing them in a directory (e.g. vendor) inside your project. By default, it does not install anything globally. Thus, it is a dependency manager. It does however support a "global" project for convenience via the global command.
This idea is not new and Composer is strongly inspired by node's npm and ruby's bundler.
