Install using Composer:

You'll also need to add each function to the Volt service:

```
$di->set('view', function () use ($config) {

  $view = new View();
  // ...
  $view->registerEngines(array(
    '.volt' => function ($view, $di) use ($config) {

      $volt = new VoltEngine($view, $di);

      $volt->getCompiler()->addFunction('ordinal', function ($resolvedArgs, $expArgs) {
        return 'VoltHelpers\Helpers::ordinal(' . $resolvedArgs . ')';
      });
      $volt->getCompiler()->addFunction('strToCurrency', function ($resolvedArgs, $expArgs) {
        return 'VoltHelpers\Helpers::strToCurrency(' . $resolvedArgs . ')';
      });
      $volt->getCompiler()->addFunction('pluralize', function ($resolvedArgs, $expArgs) {
        return 'VoltHelpers\Helpers::pluralize(' . $resolvedArgs . ')';
      });
      $volt->getCompiler()->addFunction('paginationPath', function ($resolvedArgs, $expArgs) {
        return 'VoltHelpers\Helpers::paginationPath(' . $resolvedArgs . ')';
      });
      // ...

      return $volt;
    },
