This will remove any already-installed Composer and install it correctly for you:

sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/composer

EXPECTED_SIGNATURE=$(curl -s https://composer.github.io/installer.sig)

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"

ACTUAL_SIGNATURE=$(php -r "echo hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php');")



if [ "$EXPECTED_SIGNATURE" == "$ACTUAL_SIGNATURE" ]

then

    php composer-setup.php --quiet

    rm composer-setup.php

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

    sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/composer

fi
