The guide shows how to get Composer running on Rocky or Alma Linux 8 in under ten minutes, with no “sudo” gymnastics needed. It explains two approaches: the official installer that downloads the script, makes it executable, and verifies the version, as well as using DNF with the EPEL repository to install a system‑wide RPM that updates automatically. The author also warns about common pitfalls—permission errors on vendor directories, missing PHP extensions such as ctype or json, and an out‑of‑date default PHP that can break Composer’s requirements.
