This is a bit more complex so see the video.
Note: In Linux, if you use the version of Composer which is packaged with Linux, "selfupdate" is _not_ available. As it's always a good idea to update your software, use the version from the Composer website. Jump to: 4:30:00 for that part of the video

NOTES:
I tend to make the videos "on the fly", there's no script and everything is done from memory with just a few notes to jog the "old, grey cells". I do apologise for the umms, ahhs, erms, and pregnant pauses in the video - men tend not to be quite as good at multi-tasking :D .
I will, when possible, copy and paste commands to make the videos a little quicker and so as to not waste your time.
