Composer on OMV - harder than I thought

So I now decided it would be nice to install firefly iii.

This needs Composer.

So installing Composer is proving harder than expected.

The download keeps timing out go gave up and just downloaded latest version (1.6.5) from here

Created a /usr/local/composer directory and downloaded the file into that.

Then executed


mv /usr/local/composer/composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer

composer -v

All seems OK now

The problem seems to be something to do with the way curl works with ipv6 vs ipv4.

I also enabled ipv6 on the OMV box.

So I did add

ipv4 >> ~/.curlrc

but still made no difference.
