Composer Manager 4/7 Composer Manager project page: https://www.drupal.org/project/composer_manager “Composer expects each project (Drupal installation, in our case) to have a single composer.json file listing all required packages. Composer Manager allows each contributed module to ship with its own composer.json file, listing the module-specific requirements. It then merges the requirements of all found modules into the consolidated composer.json file. This results in a single vendor/ directory shared across all modules which prevents code duplication and version mismatches.” 1. drush dl composer_manager -y 2. drush en composer_manager -y 3. composer drupal-update --no-dev
