To install Composer in cPanel, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your cPanel account.
  2. In the "Software" section, click on the "Setup Python App" icon.
  3. Under the "Add a Python App" section, enter the desired information for your app:App Domain: Select the domain or subdomain where you want to install Composer.App Root: Enter the directory where you want to install Composer. This will be the root directory for your app, and it should not be inside the public_html directory.App Type: Select "Custom" from the dropdown menu.Python Version: Select the version of Python you want to use for your app.
  4. Click the "Create App" button to create your app.
  5. After the app is created, click on the "Go to App" button to access the app's directory.
  6. In the app's directory, run the following command to download and install Composer:curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
  7. Once the installation is complete, you can use Composer by running the composer command followed by the desired command and options. For example, to install a PHP package using Composer, you can run the following command:php composer.phar require package/name


Note: If you are using a shared hosting account, you may not have access to cPanel or the ability to install Composer. In this case, you will need to ask your hosting provider for assistance with installing Composer.

I apologize, but it seems there was a mistake in my previous response. cPanel does not directly support Composer installation. However, you can still install Composer on your server through SSH access. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Connect to your server via SSH using a tool like PuTTY or terminal.
  2. Navigate to your home directory by running the following command: cd ~
  3. Download the Composer installer using the following command: curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
  4. Once the installer is downloaded, you can install Composer globally by running the following command: php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
  5. Composer should now be installed on your server. You can verify the installation by running: composer --version


That's it! Composer is now installed on your cPanel server, and you can use it for managing your PHP dependencies.
