Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

\###As an included library, with Composer:

Make sure Composer is installed - if not, you can get it from [here](https://getcomposer.org/ "getcomposer.org").

First, you need to add *ion/versioning* as a dependency in your *composer.json* file.

To use the current stable version, add the following to download it straight from [here](https://packagist.org/ "packagist.org"):

```
"require": {
    "php": ">=7.4",
    "ion/packaging": "^1.0.0",
}

```

To use the bleeding edge (development) version, add the following:

```
"require": {
    "php": ">=7.4",
    "ion/packaging": "dev-default",
},
"repositories": {
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/ion-digital/ion-php-packaging.git"
    }
}

```

Then run the following in the root directory of your project:

> php composer.phar install
