I have an app service for my PHP 8.0 application. Azure will only allow me to use Linux which is fine, but I'm having trouble installing composer globally.

Because only files inside of /home are persisted I'm not sure where I can place the resulting composer.phar file, in such a way that it is included in the PATH, and I can't find any relevant documentation, only relevant discussion I could find was this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/3638/installing-composer-on-azure-app-service.html but it still didn't help.

Could anyone tell me either where to put composer.phar or whether there's a way to edit my path to point towards /home/composer.phar?

Thanks!

I found the right way.

If I echo'ed PATH it told me that /home/site/wwwroot was included in the PATH, so all that's needed is to move the composer file into wwwroot doing something like mv composer.phar /home/site/wwwroot/composer.
