Question
How to upgrade PHP composer on a Plesk server?
Answer
-
Connect to the server via SSH
-
Check what version is currently used:
Note: replace
X.Xwith the current PHP version and<Version>with the desired composer version.# /opt/plesk/php/X.X/bin/php /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/composer.phar --version
-
Update or downgrade to the specified version:
# /opt/plesk/php/X.X/bin/php /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/composer.phar self-update <Version>
Note: In case the command above does not work, use the below one:
/opt/plesk/php/X.X/bin/php /usr/local/psa/var/modules/composer/composer.phar selfupdate --2
For example:
# /opt/plesk/php/7.3/bin/php /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/composer.phar self-update 2.0.8
Upgrading to version 2.0.8 (stable channel).

We've been trying to upgrade our composer but executing the described documentation doesn't actually upgrade the composer of the Plesk Composer module.
After a lot of research, the following command did the job (change the php version accordingly):
