Composer/pt

Composer é um gestor de dependências para as bibliotecas de PHP. A partir de, as dependências de biblioteca externas do núcleo do MediaWiki estão a ser geridas com o Composer. Além disso, este pode ser utilizado para gerir a instalação das extensões do MediaWiki (disponível desde ). However this is currently not well supported. This may change in the future.

No Unix/Linux e macOS
Existem várias maneiras para o install Composer, além da maneira mais óbvia, :

Currently, only Composer 1.x is supported by MediaWiki. Para obter um instantâneo mais recente:

For users on OS X, you can use Homebrew to install Composer. Note this will install version Composer 2.x, so you may want to follow the  instructions above instead. To install using :

If that doesn't work, or you do not have Homebrew installed, you can try:

Toolforge and the extension distributor use the copy of Composer contained in the "integration/composer" git repo.

Once Composer is installed, you can run commands via the downloaded phar:

You may want to move the phar into your path so it can be used as a normal executable:

If the mv command fails due to permissions, execute it again with sudo.

No Windows
Basta transferir e executar o instalador da página de transferências. If you prefer manual installation, you can follow the above steps except that Windows doesn’t have wget (or APT or Homebrew) by default, and there is no /usr/local/bin directory. In these cases, you can just download composer-1.phar in your web browser and then rename it to composer.phar.

Upgrading Composer
If you want to upgrade Composer to the latest 1.x stable (or downgrade from 2.x stable), you can use:

If the update command fails due to permissions, execute it again with sudo.

If you are on a really old version of composer, it may not have the  parameter. In this case, you might want to run  twice. The first may update it to 2.x, so the second will downgrade it to the latest version of 1.x.

Utilização no núcleo do MediaWiki
MediaWiki 1.25+ depends on some external libraries which are managed with Composer. Composer creates an autoloader at, which is included by.

Composer managed dependencies are bundled into tarball distributions of MediaWiki and extensions so system administrators do not need to use Composer directly. When installing MediaWiki using Git, dependencies declared in  can either be installed locally by running   or the   repository can be cloned to provide the same libraries used on the Wikimedia production cluster.

Utilizar o plug-in de unir do "composer"
MediaWiki core "owns"  and will change the contents of that file in both tarball and Git managed updates. In order to allow local installs to use Composer to load optional libraries and/or manage extensions with Composer, a special plugin for Composer named composer-merge-plugin was developed. This plugin and the MediaWiki core  configuration allow a local deployment to add required extensions and libraries to a file   inside the root MediaWiki directory.

can also be used to install Composer managed libraries that are needed by extensions that are not installed using Composer themselves. This is only needed when the extensions are not installed from tarballs generated by Extension Distributor.

To enable Composer to discover and process the  files that may be included in any and all of your locally installed extensions, add something like this to  :

After any changes to, you need to remove   before running   again so that Composer will recalculate the dependencies and the changes will take effect.
