Installing Composer for AWS SDK for PHP

Hello,

I would like to use the AWS SDK for PHP and it recommends that I install Composer in as part of my project. It states to install Composer locally just run the installer in your project directory:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
or
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php

How do I install it and or request that it be installed?

Regards.

Hello lbelfast,

Thank you for your question on Composer installation. Unfortunately Composer requires a level of access that is not given to individual accounts and cannot be installed on our shared servers.

Kindest Regards,

This issue has changed (since 6 years ago). Shared server accounts now have access to SSH. So, you do have access to use Composer. You can find out more here: Using PHP Composer on Shared Hosting.

If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.

Kindest Regards,
