How to get Composer running on SiteGround shared

Download getcomposer.org/composer.phar to your account's home directory — /home/username.
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.
Restart SSH session or run source ~/.bashrc to reload config.
Use composer command!

@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).
