Don't run as root, first of all. Try following the instructions:

well, i don't think he wants to create a new composer.json. He probably just wants to use https://github.com/pmmp/PocketMine-MP/blob/master/composer.json

How would you update PHP via composer? I tried
Code:
composer update
, but that did not update the PHP to 7.2 RC3

Did you try to use Windows update for PHP 7.2?

I think the team is working out on making a space where "how to use composer in my project for pmmp" is explained on the docs. Not sure but ask a staff member.

Hello to everyone reading this: I'm here to announce that PocketMine-MP is now using Composer for dependency and autoloader management.

Hold on. What is Composer?
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP project. Using it means that PocketMine-MP can now use third-party libraries for implementing things instead of writing in-house implementations or copy-pasting code into the project.

Read more about Composer here.

How does this affect me?
If you are using a source-code installation of PocketMine-MP (git clone for example) you will now need Composer to initialize the autoloader and install dependencies required by PocketMine-MP.

This does not affect installations using prebuilt phars obtained from Jenkins, since Jenkins handles autoloader generation and dependency installation automatically. This means that Jenkins phars will automatically include all necessary autoloader files and dependency packages.

Where can I get Composer for my system?
If you have updated your PHP binary from official sources recently, you'll already have a composer.phar in your PHP binary's `bin` folder.

If you want to install Composer manually, you can do so by following the instructions here.

Help! It's telling me "Composer autoloader not found" when I try to start the server!
This message means exactly what it says. Initializing the autoloader is easy:

With the local composer.phar provided with our PHP packages
Code:
$ bin/php7/bin/php bin/composer.phar install
With a global Composer installation:
Code:
$ composer install
Updating dependencies when updating PocketMine-MP
Also very simple. This is the same as the `install` process, just substitute `update` for `install`.

It is crucial that you remember to update dependencies when you update a source-code installation.

It's the future!
