Using composer init

Cheat sheet for using composer init to create your composer.json.

https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#init

Do not run this as root. Normally. The exception being when working on the system wide packages, which can actually be avoided by setting everything up as a lowbie user and then flicking over the owner. See Install Composer system-wide packages for details.

composer init \
  --no-interaction \
  --name "root/test" \
  --description "A test of the system" \
  --author "Ted <john@example.com>" \
  --type project \
  --require "hirak/prestissimo:^0.3.9" \
  --stability "stable" \
  --license "GPL-2.0-or-later"
