Setting up Composer globally for Laravel 4

An easy way to set up composer globally is to follow the instructions on getcomposer.org site:

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

1 2	$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer \| php $ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Now I can use composer by invoking just the composer command.

Optional way to do it, is to set up an alias:

alias composer='/location/of/the/composer.phar'

1	alias composer='/location/of/the/composer.phar'

and

alias c:al='php composer.phar dump-autoload'
alias c:u='composer update'
alias c:i='composer install'

alias c:al='php composer.phar dump-autoload'

alias c:u='composer update'

alias c:i='composer install'
