Can someone explain Composer installation to me

Where do you type one of these?

 

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

 

or if you don't have curl

 

php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php

 

In the top of a web page between <?php ?>?

 

In your web hosting service account login some where?

Inside a shell console. If your web host does not give you shell access then you can't do it. There might be a way to write a PHP script to run those commands if your host allows PHP to use the functions necessary to do that.
