[](#installation)

In order to use this library on another project, you must add the kanjidic2 dictionary file as a Composer repository:

```
"repositories": [
    {
        "type":"package",
        "package": {
            "name": "kanjidic2/kanjidic2",
            "version": "2.0",
            "dist": {
                "url": "http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/kanjidic2/kanjidic2.xml.gz",
                "type": "file"
            }
        }
    }
],
```

Require this library using composer:

`composer require albertofem/kanjidic2-lib`

Install it:

`composer update albertofem/kanjidic2-lib`

Test everything is ok:

`php vendor/albertofem/kanjidic2-lib/bin/kanjidic kanjidic:dictionary:show vendor/kanjidic2/kanjidic2/kanjidic2.xml.gz`
