Answer 1

Manually update the composer:

wget -cO - https://getcomposer.org/composer-stable.phar > /usr/local/bin/composer

Check the installed composer version:

composer --version

Answer 2

Remove Your older versions and install the latest version of Composer,

Remove Your older version: sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/composer

Download the installer: sudo curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Move the composer.phar file: sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Answer 3

The error means you are using composer of version 1.7.2or below. You have to uninstall composer and then install a composer version 1.7.3 and above.

Answer 4

I've just experienced the same issue on my Windows machine. I'd just downloaded and installed Composer from https://getcomposer.org/download/ and when I tried to run php composer-setup.php it failed with "SHA384 is not supported by your openssl extension".

The solution that worked for me was to perform the command line install (documented on the same site). Visit https://getcomposer.org/download/ to get the latest SHA.

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'c5b9b6d368201a9db6f74e2611495f369991b72d9c8cbd3ffbc63edff210eb73d46ffbfce88669ad33695ef77dc76976') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

Answer 5

you can download latest version from https://getcomposer.org/ and just replace the file composer.phar in your composer folder, in my machine this is installed in windows at C:\composer
