1. Composer is a dependency management tool for PHP. It allows developers to declare the libraries their project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you.
2. Composer is the recommended way to install and manage Laravel components. It allows you to specify the version of the components you need and it will automatically download them and keep them up to date.
3. To install Composer, you need to download the Composer Installer and run the installer. This will install the Composer binary on your system.
4. After that, you can use Composer to manage your Laravel project’s dependencies. This can be done by running the “composer install” command in the root directory of your project.
5. Once the dependencies are installed, you can use “composer update” to keep them up to date.
