Good morning. thank you for your article
I have installed the plesk composer extension on the server. OK
Now how do I run the installation of something?
For example I want to install phpmailer
In the command prompt when I type I execute the instruction:
composer require phpmailer/phpmailer
'composer' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Could you help with information?
