### Installing Composer

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that allows us to ship everything you'll need code wise to operate the Panel. You'll need composer installed before continuing in this process.

``` bash
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
```

### Download Files

Great, now all of the dependencies have been dealt with. Continue the installation by following the [official documentation Download Files section](/panel/1.0/getting_started.md#download-files).
