1) First you need to create or found composer.json

2) Then write your code in this file

3) In last you have to update composer.

Composer is a PHP based dependency management system.

That's a snippet of a composer.json file used to get & manage initial dependencies, to use it you'll need to have PHP & Composer installed and then create a file called composer.json in the location you'd like to have the project created.

Once you'd done that run composer install to get the dependencies. This won't actually install an app persay, you'll still need to make that yourself.

Scotch.io has a decent beginners guide to Composer if you're uncertain about how to install it & what it's actually used for.

No. You should write this to a json file named composer.json.

Then use composer to install the package: composer install
