Note: If you want to install and use PHP 7 and Composer within Windows 10 natively, I wrote a guide for that, too!
Since Windows 10 introduced the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), it has become far easier to work on Linux-centric software, like most PHP projects, within Windows.
To get the WSL, and in our case, Ubuntu, running in Windows 10, follow the directions in Microsoft's documentation: Install the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10, and download and launch the Ubuntu installer from the Windows Store.
Once it's installed, open an Ubuntu command line, and let's get started:
Install PHP 7 inside Ubuntu in WSL
Ubuntu has packages for PHP 7 already available, so it's just a matter of installing them with apt:
- Update the apt cache with
sudo apt-get update - Install PHP and commonly-required extensions:
sudo apt-get install -y git php7.0 php7.0-curl php7.0-xml php7.0-mbstring php7.0-gd php7.0-sqlite3 php7.0-mysql. - Verify PHP 7 is working:
php -v.
If it's working, you should get output like:
Install Composer inside Ubuntu in WSL
Following the official instructions for downloading and installing Composer, copy and paste this command into the CLI:
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');" && \
php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === '544e09ee996cdf60ece3804abc52599c22b1f40f4323403c44d44fdfdd586475ca9813a858088ffbc1f233e9b180f061') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;" && \
php composer-setup.php && \
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
To make Composer easier to use, run the following command to move Composer into your global path:
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Now you can run composer, and you should get the output:
That's it! Now you have PHP 7 and Composer running inside Ubuntu in WSL on your Windows 10 PC. Next up, dominate the world with some new PHP projects!
