See the [Configuration Options manual page](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki/Configuration-Options) for a list of these requirements. Installation ------------ [](#installation) The easiest way to get started with PHP\_CodeSniffer is to download the Phar files for each of the commands: ``` curl -OL https://squizlabs.github.io/PHP_CodeSniffer/phpcs.phar php phpcs.phar -h curl -OL https://squizlabs.github.io/PHP_CodeSniffer/phpcbf.phar php phpcbf.phar -h ``` ### Composer [](#composer) If you use Composer, you can install PHP\_CodeSniffer system-wide with the following command: ``` composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*" ``` Make sure you have the composer bin dir in your PATH. The default value is `~/.composer/vendor/bin/`, but you can check the value that you need to use by running `composer global config bin-dir --absolute`. Or alternatively, include a dependency for `squizlabs/php_codesniffer` in your `composer.json` file. For example: ``` { "require-dev": { "squizlabs/php_codesniffer": "3.*" } } ``` You will then be able to run PHP\_CodeSniffer from the vendor bin directory: ``` ./vendor/bin/phpcs -h ./vendor/bin/phpcbf -h ``` ### Phive [](#phive) If you use Phive, you can install PHP\_CodeSniffer as a project tool using the following commands: ``` phive install phpcs phive install phpcbf ``` You will then be able to run PHP\_CodeSniffer from the tools directory: ``` ./tools/phpcs -h ./tools/phpcbf -h ``` ### PEAR [](#pear) If you use PEAR, you can install PHP\_CodeSniffer using the PEAR installer. This will make the `phpcs` and `phpcbf` commands immediately available for use. To install PHP\_CodeSniffer using the PEAR installer, first ensure you have [installed PEAR](http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php) and then run the following command: ``` pear install PHP_CodeSniffer ``` ### Git Clone [](#git-clone) You can also download the PHP\_CodeSniffer source and run the `phpcs` and `phpcbf` commands directly from the Git clone: ``` git clone https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer.git cd PHP_CodeSniffer php bin/phpcs -h php bin/phpcbf -h ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) The documentation for PHP\_CodeSniffer is available on the [Github wiki](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/wiki). Issues ------ [](#issues) Bug reports and feature requests can be submitted on the [Github Issue Tracker](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/issues).
