Composer

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP and will manage the dependencies you require on a project by project basis. This means that Composer will pull in all the required libraries, dependencies and manage them all in one place.
To start with Composer, login into SSH and type:

The default composer executable runs via our optimized php.ini, designed for executing your WordPress requests. Sometimes, we need to use some PHP functions that are disabled in the default php.ini. To do that, simply create custom php.ini and execute your composer with the following command:
Check the current location of php.ini
[user@closte ~]$ php --ini Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /opt/alt/php70/etc Loaded Configuration File: /opt/alt/php70/etc/php.ini Scan for additional .ini files in: /opt/alt/php70/link/conf Additional .ini files parsed: /opt/alt/php70/link/conf/alt_php.ini
Clone the current php.ini
cp /opt/alt/php70/etc/php.ini ~/composer.ini
Run composer with custom php.ini
php -c ~/composer.ini composer [args]
