Installation and Usage
----------------------

[](#installation-and-usage)

#### Installing phake globally

[](#installing-phake-globally)

```
composer global require molovo/phake

# Ensure ~/.composer/vendor/bin is in your path, then in a directory
# with a Phakefile, run:
phake task
```

#### Installing per Project:

[](#installing-per-project)

```
composer require molovo/phake

vendor/bin/phake task
```

#### Installing ZSH Completion

[](#installing-zsh-completion)

Rename the file `phake.zsh-completion` to `_phake`, and move it somewhere in your `$fpath`. `/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/` is usually a good choice.
