Using Composer to Manage PHP Dependencies

Composer is the standard dependency manager for PHP, automatically downloading and managing the external libraries a project relies on.

Why It's Useful

Rather than manually downloading and updating library files, a single composer.json file lists what your project needs, and Composer handles fetching the correct versions and their own dependencies.

Using It on Your Hosting

Plesk includes Composer support for PHP projects, letting you run composer install directly through the interface or via SSH on VPS plans.
