Answer 1

1) Install composer for your php. 2) Use meantioned command if composer was installed locally. 3) Use "composer require zircote/swagger-php" if composer is used globally.

4) Consult composer documenation for proper syntax if you use something different then Linux/MacOS.

Above commands have to be executed inside php project, which will be annotated

Answer 2

To install zircote/swagger-php first you need to have php installed in your system correctly (obviously), so to verify that run following command in terminal

php -v

If you don't have php installed, run this,

sudo apt install php

Then to download composer run these set of commands

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '48e3236262b34d30969dca3c37281b3b4bbe3221bda826ac6a9a62d6444cdb0dcd0615698a5cbe587c3f0fe57a54d8f5') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

Then make composer run globally. This way you can run composer from any directory within your system and there's no need to run php composer.phar

mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Then finally, navigate to your project folder and simply do

composer require zircote/swagger-php
