Using Composer in MODX Cloud

Modern PHP applications virtually mandate that Composer is used. Fortunately, MODX Cloud supports it by default with a quick trip to the command line:

  1. From the Cloud instance where you wish to use Composer, make note of the internal Cloud URL, and SSH credentials.

  2. Open your terminal, shell or Putty to login via ssh into your Cloud instance

  3. Download and install the advanced tool scripts (you’ll get wp-cli, too):

    sh -c "$(curl https://modx.co/scripts/install.sh)"
  4. Either logout and back into the ssh  session for Composer to be available. Or, use the source command provided.
  5. Use the following command to confirm that Composer is installed: 
    composer --version
  6. That is all.
