Hello, first of all i want so say im sory for my bad english is not mi main languaje (I speak spanish).

Well i started the course Builiding Websites with PHP: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/building-websites-with-php

And there is no guide or whatsoever of how to install composer into the computer, in this course, the composer its already installed in the workspace, but i want to use it in my computer and i couldn't install it properly or I am missing something.

I downloaded from https://getcomposer.org/download/ , then i installed it into my C:\xampp\php\php.exe, and when i try to open the composer from the folder C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin\ the composer opens but it exit in a second, I am missing something?

Hi, I can speak spanish so i will do it.

Hola, parece que estás utilizando Windows como sistema operativo. Hay en la página de composer un instalador que simplemente ejecutándolo hace todo el trabajo por ti. Lo descargas y lo instalas, quizás necesites deshacer todo lo que ya hiciste previamente.

ESTE ENLACE TE LLEVA A LA DESCARGA / This link get you to the download directly!! https://getcomposer.org/Composer-Setup.exe

Una vez instalado para utilizarlo abre el CMD y ejecuta ahí los comandos que desees. En caso de que el CMD no te deje yo me bajaría GIT Bash y utilizaría eso como CLI de windows.

Saludos.
