 There are numerous tutorials on Drupal.org and elsewhere on the web if you are
 looking for more information about how to use Composer with Drupal 8.
 
+
+Using Composer and wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin:
+
+1: Ensure that you have the 'wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin` package installed.
+2: Ensure that you have the `oomphinc/composer-installers-extender` package
+   installed.
+3: Add an "installer-types" section in the "extra" of your project composer.json
+   file, make sure you have "bower-asset" and "npm-asset" listed.
+   For example:
+     "installer-types": [
+         "bower-asset",
+         "npm-asset"
+     ],
+4: In the "installer-paths" section in the "extra" of your project composer.json
+   file, ensure you have an the types drupal-library, bower-asset, and npm-asset.
+   For example:
+     "web/libraries/{$name}": [
+         "type:drupal-library",
+         "type:bower-asset",
+         "type:npm-asset"
+     ],
+5: Add a "merge-plugin" section in the "extra" of your project composer.json
+   file, so that the composer.json file of the sub-modules you want is included.
+   For example:
+     "merge-plugin": {
+         "include": [
+             "web/modules/contrib/charts/modules/charts_highcharts/composer.json"
+         ]
+     },
+6: Run 'composer install' or 'composer update' or the 'composer require'
