Step 1. Install Composer
Choose your favorite way to install composer to your Unix/Linux or macOS machine, and you will need to find a way to install it from Composer’s official site.
Option 1. Official Guide from Getcomposer.org
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'e0012edf3e80b6978849f5eff0d4b4e4c79ff1609dd1e613307e16318854d24ae64f26d17af3ef0bf7cfb710ca74755a') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
Option 2. Using Standard Application Install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install composer
composer -v
Option 3. Using Curl + Application Get
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl php-cli git
curl -sS getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php - --install-dir = / usr / local / bin --filename = composer
Step 2. Enable Composer Command
Once you install composer, I recommend running the following commands so that you can run the “composer command”.
// Move composer.phar to bin to run as composer command
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer
// Before above commands
/usr/local/bin/composer -v
// After the above commands
composer -v
Step 3. Install TYPO3 Core Using Composer
Let’s officially download and install TYPO3 core using the composer-based TYPO3 instance.
// create and change directory
mkdir test-typo3
cd test-typo3
// Download the Base Distribution, the latest "LTS" release (10)
composer create "typo3/cms-base-distribution:^10" --prefer-dist
// create FIRST_INSTALL file in the folder public/
touch public/FIRST_INSTALL
// Launch your TYPO3 instance & Complete TYPO3 Installation Steps
Step 4. Install TYPO3 Extension Using Composer
Grab your favorite TYPO3 extension’s composer command, Example https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/ns_backup
// Install TYPO3 News Extension
composer require nitsan/ns-backup
// Activate TYPO3 News Extension
./vendor/bin/typo3 extension:activate ns_backup
// After Installation of TYPO3 Extension, Check your composer.json should add an entry of your installed TYPO3 extension
"require": {
"typo3/cms": "~7.6.0",
"nitsan/ns-backup": "^4.0.0"
}
