    # Global installation of PHP tools with Composer

    To install a composer package globally, you run the usual require command, but with the addition of the global modifier. So to install PHPUnit, you would run:

    ```bash

    To install a composer package globally, you run the usual require command, but with the addition of the global modifier. So to install PHPUnit, you would run:

    ```bash
    $ composer global require phpunit/phpunit
    $ composer global require phpunit/dbunit
    $ composer global require phing/phing
    $ composer global require phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor
    $ composer global require sebastian/phpcpd
    $ composer global require phploc/phploc
    $ composer global require phpmd/phpmd
    $ composer global require squizlabs/php_codesniffer
    ```
    This will install PHPUnit and all its dependencies into the ~/.composer/vendor/ directory and, most importantly, the phpunit CLI tools are installed into ~/.composer/vendor/bin/.

    Simply add this directory to your PATH in your ~/.bash_profile (or ~/.bashrc) like this:

    ```bash
    export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH
    ```

    and phpunit is now available on your command line.

    To keep your tools up to date, you simply do this:

    ```bash
    composer global update
    ```
    To remove a package, you edit ~/.composer/composer.json and then run composer global update.
