Install Bacula-Web using Composer¶
Since version 8.0.0, Bacula-Web dependencies are managed using Composer.
As stated on Composer’s official website
Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you.
Let’s start by installing Composer on your system
Install Composer¶
Most Linux distro provides Composer as package, so to install it run this command
On Debian / Ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get install composer
