How to install Composer on a Mac?

I'm trying to get the Laravel PHP framework installed and for that I need to install Composer. However I'm getting stuck there. I installed it before for Symfony but I couldn't get it to work so I think I deleted it.

When I open the terminal on Mac and enter one of the commands for installing composer like: 

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

I get:

-bash: php: command not found
curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 1635)

Why is this?

You can install it via Brew.

First, install Brew;

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Then you can use Brew to install Composer;

brew install composer

That's it, it's now installed. You can verify this by running composer --version

First install brew if not installed in Mac:

$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Update brew and install php and composer.

$ brew update
$ brew install php
$ brew install composer

Verify by checking version:

 $ composer -V

I hope it helps.

I deleted some files that I should not have deleted. Did a repair install of OS X and now it works.
