如何在没有cURL命令行的情况下安装Composer？

Question

I need to install Composer on a shared hosting service. This service supports cURL, but does not support SSH access. As a result, I cannot run cURL commands from the command line.

Is it possible to install cURL without a command line? Perhaps a PHP script that I run only once?

Answer 1

Install the composer.phar file locally and then just upload it to your hosting provider.

Alternatively, you can download composer.phar from their website.

However, it's unlikely that you'll be able to run it. Unless you are using it programatically, I recommend you install all of your dependencies locally into a release branch/package and upload that to your hosting provider.

Answer 2

The download page of the composer site has instructions for those missing curl that only require php:

php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php

The above is the recommended way, but alternatively if you don't want to run the installer and all the config checks it does, you can just download the phar file from https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar - either using your browser or via wget https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar (if you have access to wget).

Answer 3

Get the file from https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar

And then use with php prefix of every commands.

Example of a batch on windows OS: C:\\xampp\\php\\php composer.phar create-project laravel/laravel C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\laravel42 4.2 --prefer-dist

You can also create a simple batch file to do it globally:

:: File Name should composer.bat
@ECHO OFF
SET PATH=%PATH%;%~dp0
setlocal DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
SET COMPOSER_PROCESS_TIMEOUT=5000
C:\xampp\php\php "%~dp0composer.phar" %*

Now you are able to use it VIA evnironment setup or directly to this batch file.
