I am new to roundcube.
I'm guessing I should install the plugin installer.
I checked http://plugins.roundcube.net/ and http://plugins.roundcube.net/packages/roundcube/plugin-installer
and went as far as I could.
I replaced composer.json with the one I downloaded from plugin-installer and ran
php composer.phar install
and got this error:
---------------------
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
  Problem 1
    - The requested package composer/composer could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.
Potential causes:
- A typo in the package name
- The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
   see <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/composer-dev/_g3ASeIFlrc/discussion> for more details.
--------------------
a) is it supposed to go get the files or do I have to put them somewhere.  If so what files go where?  The zip file contains src, bin, and Roundcube directories.
b) what happens if/when it gets installed?  What will it do and how will I interface with it?
