How to install Composer on macOS?

I was trying to install the Composer on my macOS version: high sierra--> 10.13.4

but after using the command:

sudo php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"

It created some files and directory but it didn't download the composer. My terminal displayed following error:

No log handling enabled - using stderr logging

Created directory: /var/db/net-snmp

Created directory: /var/db/net-snmp/mib_indexes`

How can I resolve this problem?

Download and Install composer using the following curl command in the terminal:

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

After the installation, you will have composer.phar file in the current directory and the composer command is available as:

 php composer.phar [composer commnad]

To make composer available globally, you have to move the recently downloaded composer.phar to the local user’s bin folder as follows:

go to /usr/local/bin folder.

You can click Shift + Command + G to open the dialog to go to the folder. Move the recently downloaded composer.phar to the usr/local/bin folder create an alias using the command

alias composer="php      /usr/local/bin/composer.phar"

Now, you can access the composer from the terminal simply using the composer command. That's it.
