Objective

Install the Composer PHP package manager on Debian.

Distributions

This guide focuses on Debian, but may work with Ubuntu as well.

Requirements

A working Debian install with root privileges.

Difficulty

Easy

Conventions

  • # - requires given command to be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of sudo command
  • $ - given command to be executed as a regular non-privileged user

Introduction

Composer is a PHP package manager that assists in the installation and management of PHP packages. It also helps handle project dependencies. As a result, many modern PHP projects rely on Composer.

Though Composer is in the Debian repositories, the version there is terribly out-of-date. Installing it directly from the development team is easy regardless.

Objective

Install Firefox 57, Quantum, on Debian Stretch

Distributions

Debian 9 Stretch

Requirements

A working Debian Stretch install with root privileges.

Difficulty

Easy

Conventions

  • # - requires given command to be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of sudo command
  • $ - given command to be executed as a regular non-privileged user

Introduction

Firefox 57 is easily the best update to come to Firefox ever. Mozilla even named this release "Quantum" because of how dramatically the browser speed improved. Couple that with the complete redesign of Firefox's UI, and you have a pretty dramatic change.

Thanks to Debian's release schedule, it's unlikely that Stretch will ever officially see Firefox 57. However, it is available in Sid. You won't need to upgrade all the way to Sid to get it either. You only need to tell Debian to use Firefox from Sid.

Objective

Learn to organize your passwords using the "pass" password manager on linux

Requirements

  • Root permissions needed to install required packages

Difficulty

EASY

Conventions

  • # - requires given command to be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of sudo command
  • $ - given command to be executed as a regular non-privileged user

Introduction

If you have the good habit to never use the same password for more than one purpose, you have probably already felt the need for a password manager. There are many alternatives to choose from on linux, both proprietary (if you dare) and open source. If you, like me, think that simplicity it's the way to go, you may be interested in knowing however to use the pass utility.
