CodeIgniter v3.\* Composer Installer
====================================

[](#codeigniter-v3-composer-installer)

This package installs the offical [CodeIgniter](https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter) (version `3.1.*`) with secure folder structure via Composer.

You can update CodeIgniter system folder to latest version with one command.

Folder Structure
----------------

[](#folder-structure)

```
codeigniter/
├── application/
├── composer.json
├── composer.lock
├── public/
│   ├── .htaccess
│   └── index.php
└── vendor/
    └── codeigniter/
        └── framework/
            └── system/

```

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP version 5.6 or newer is recommended. It should work on 5.3.7 as well, but we strongly advise you NOT to run such old versions of PHP, because of potential security and performance issues, as well as missing features.
- `composer` command (See [Composer Installation](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-osx))
- Git

How to Use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

### Install CodeIgniter

[](#install-codeigniter)

```
$ composer create-project cahyadsn/ci-installer codeigniter

```

Above command installs `public/.htaccess` to remove `index.php` in your URL. If you don't need it, please remove it.

And it changes `application/config/config.php`:

```
$config['composer_autoload'] = FALSE;
↓
$config['composer_autoload'] = realpath(APPPATH . '../vendor/autoload.php');

```

```
$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';
↓
$config['index_page'] = '';

```

#### Install Translations for System Messages
