How can I install a composer on windows?

I have Mamp but I cannot install a composer on my windows. I created php.ini file but I got an error message when I tried to install Composer-Setup.exe. "The openssl extension is missing from the PHP version you specified. This means that secure HTTPS transfers are not possible. The recommended option is to enable the extension in your php.ini, then click Back and try again. The php.ini used by your command-line PHP is: C:/MAMP/bin/php/php7.0.0/php.ini."

Ok now I realized that I need to install Xampp to use Mamp on Windows. :) I ran this code on Xampp "php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" > composer-setup.php php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === '7228c001f88bee97506740ef0888240bd8a760b046ee16db8f4095c0d8d525f2367663f22a46b48d072c816e7fe19959') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;" php composer-setup.php php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

and I could install the composer on MAMP.
