To install this library, please enter the following command:

```
composer require linuxforphp/linuxforcomposer
```

Once the dependencies are installed, you can create the linuxforcomposer.json file using:

```
php vendor/bin/linuxforcomposer.phar
```

NOTE: On Windows, please use the Linux for Composer PHAR file in the 'vendor/linuxforphp/linuxforcomposer/bin' folder.

Then, you only have to enter the following command to run the Linux for PHP containers that you have configured in the JSON file.

```
php vendor/bin/linuxforcomposer.phar docker:run start
```

If you wish to install the Linux for Composer binary for your entire system, please copy the PHAR file to a folder included in your PATH:

```
cp vendor/linuxforphp/linuxforcomposer/bin/linuxforcomposer.phar /usr/local/bin/linuxforcomposer
```

You will then be able to invoke the binary directly:

```
cd /folder/of/my/favorite/project
linuxforcomposer docker:run start
```

For more information on configuring and using Linux for Composer, please visit this page:

Have a lot of fun! :)

PLEASE NOTE: As long as you have [Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), [Git](https://git-scm.com/) and [cURL](https://curl.haxx.se/) installed on your computer, this library should work fine. If on Windows, make sure you are using the linuxforcomposer.phar file contained in the 'vendor/linuxforphp/linuxforcomposer/bin' folder.

Enjoy!
