为PHP的composer.json和/或NodeJS的package.json定义外部应用程序依赖项

Question

I'm not sure if this is a wild thought or what but is it possible to define an external dependency (such as an external utility/tool/program) for your PHP or NodeJS application via its dependency meta file (composer.json and package.json respectively)?

Say for example, before a user can use a certain PHP or NodeJS application, I want to make sure that the festival program is installed prior to sourcing and installing the application and its other dependencies.

PS: I already googled this question prior to coming here but to no luck.

Thanks!!
