This PR attempts to improve the documentation for using Composer in the README.md to suggest a more idiomatic approach in the hopes that it will help users avoid problems.
Specifically:
installing composer using any of the official guides (or the Windows Installer) will help users with misconfigured PHP environments
the use of composer init and composer require (instead of directly editing the composer.json avoids syntax errors while ensuring a valid set of version requirements.
