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

[](#getting-started)

FileSystemCache can be installed with Composer or downloaded manually.

### With Composer

[](#with-composer)

If you're already using Composer, just add `jdorn/file-system-cache` to your `composer.json` file. FileSystemCache works with Composer's autoloader out of the bat.

```
{
	"require": {
		"jdorn/file-system-cache": "dev-master"
	}
}
```

### Manually

[](#manually)

If you aren't using Composer, you just need to include `lib/FileSystemCache.php` in your script.

```
require_once("path/to/FileSystemCache.php");
```

Setting the Cache Directory
---------------------------

[](#setting-the-cache-directory)

By default, all cached data is stored in the `cache` directory relative to the currently executing script. You can change this by setting the $cacheDir static property.

```
