Don't get me started on the dev tools on a production server...
Here's what I do for composer:
$ sudo apt-get install -y composer
$ sudo su -
# cd /var/www/html/w
# rm -rf /var/www/html/w/vendor
# php -d extension=phar.so composer.phar update --no-dev
# exit
$ sudo apt-get remove -y composer
Then, fix ownership and permissions on the files. We use
root:www-data, 0750 and friends. Root owns everything and gets
read/write. The webserver is the group owner and only gets read. (The
webserver gets read/write on the upload/ and sessions/ directories).
