Question How to run php cli to install autoloader

brownbag

Basic Pleskian
I'm setting up Mailgun for my Plesk Server and need to install the autoloader with the command:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

I get the error, "Command 'php' not found, but can be installed with ...".

I get the same error with the simple 'php -v' command.

It appears that php cli is not working, so I can't run php commands with the command line. Php is working fine on my mail server but I'm struggling with getting it to work from the command line.

I've tried to install the cli (sudo apt-get install php7-cli) but that hasn't worked.

I've also read that I should add the /bin/php/ folder to my path (in my case that is bin/php is found in /opt/plesk/php/7.3/bin/php), but I can't see how that will help as I navigated to that folder as root user then ran the 'php -v' command and it still didn't work.

Any help appreciated.
