Install Composer for PHP

Download the installer to the /tmp directory.

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

Visit Composer's pubkeys and signatures page and copy the SHA-384 string at the top . Then, run the following command by replacing sha_384_string with the string you copied.

php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', '/tmp/composer-setup.php') === 'sha_384_string') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('/tmp/composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"

This command checks the hash of the file you downloaded with the correct hash from Composer's website. If it matches, it'll print Installer verified. If it doesn't match, it'll print Installer corrupt, in which case you should double check that you copied the SHA-384 string correctly.

Next, we will install Composer. To install it globally under /usr/local/bin, we'll use the --install-dirflag; --filename tells the installer the name of Composer's executable file. Here's how to do this in one command:

sudo php /tmp/composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

Install Nodejs NPM using NVM (node -v > 6.0)

How To Install Using nvm

An alternative to installing Node.js through apt is to use a specially designed tool called nvm, which stands for "Node.js version manager". Using nvm, you can install multiple, self-contained versions of Node.js which will allow you to control your environment easier. It will give you on-demand access to the newest versions of Node.js, but will also allow you to target previous releases that your app may depend on.

To start off, we'll need to get the software packages from our Debian repositories that will allow us to build source packages. The nvm command will leverage these tools to build the necessary components:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev

Once the prerequisite packages are installed, you can pull down the nvm installation script from the project's GitHub page. The version number may be different, but in general, you can download it with curl:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.0/install.sh -o install_nvm.sh

And inspect the installation script with nano:

nano install_nvm.sh

Run the script with bash:

bash install_nvm.sh

It will install the software into a subdirectory of your home directory at ~/.nvm. It will also add the necessary lines to your ~/.profile file to make the nvm command available.

To gain access to the nvm command and its functionality, you'll need to log out and log back in again, or you can source the ~/.profile file so that your current session knows about the changes:

source ~/.profile

Now that you have nvm installed, you can install isolated Node.js versions.

To find out the versions of Node.js that are available for installation, you can type:

nvm ls-remote

Output
...
         v6.8.0
         v6.8.1
         v6.9.0   (LTS: Boron)
         v6.9.1   (LTS: Boron)
         v6.9.2   (Latest LTS: Boron)
         v7.0.0
         v7.1.0
         v7.2.0

As you can see, the newest version at the time of this writing is v7.2.0, but v6.9.2 is the latest long-term support release. You can install that by typing:

nvm install 6.9.2

You'll see the following output:

Output
Computing checksum with sha256sum
Checksums matched!
Now using node v6.9.2 (npm v3.10.9)
Creating default alias: default -> 6.9.2 (-> v6.9.2)

Usually, nvm will switch to use the most recently installed version. You can explicitly tell nvm to use the version we just downloaded by typing:

nvm use 6.9.2

Install unzip:

apt-get install unzip

Unistall node js:

sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove nodejs

You can use -R with chmod for recursive traversal of all files and subfolders.

You might need sudo as it depends on LAMP being installed by the current user or another one:

sudo chmod 755 -R /opt/lampp/htdocs
