John, something is wrong with your machine
1) On WAMP, it took me 4:40 to install everything, incl. Composer:
And there are thousands of people who use Composer all the time without any problems, so there has to be some issue with your Linux configuration
2) I searched on Google for similar errors to yours, but I could only find
this one3) Did you try other ways to run/install it? For example, using "mv" ?
https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-nix
or without curl:
https://getcomposer.org/download/
You'll need Composer, because almost everything in the PHP world is switching to Composer, so there will be no way around it.
There has to be a way to install/run it on you machine, we just need to find it...
4) This is the
content of the composer JSON file with the list of libraries the Composer is pulling to XOOPS. I hope, it helps...
But let's really try to get Composer working on your machine. That should be really a priority...
