How to get Composer running on SiteGround shared

  1. Download getcomposer.org/composer.phar to your account's home directory — /home/username.
  2. Edit .bashrc file in same directory by adding alias composer='/usr/local/php56/bin/php-cli ~/composer.phar' line. Update php56 part to current relevant version, if necessary.
  3. Restart SSH session or run source ~/.bashrc to reload config.
  4. Use composer command!

On your own computer you would use it in command line (via whatever your operating system provides for it or third party application).

On a remote server you would typically connect with SSH to it (via different tools, standalone, built into editors, etc).

@TrongCodemenschen username will be your user name that SiteGround created for you on the server. Ask support if you can't otherwise figure it out.

I am not sure this is relevant anymore since from quick google there are mentions Composer is pre-installed now (not confident if that's including shared servers).
