====================

[](#tiesa-ldap-component)

Install
=======

[](#install)

Installing the component in your project is as simple as installing [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/)if not already done so yet.

Then, under your project root folder, create a new file called composer.json and paste the following into it:

```
{
    "require": {
        "tiesa/ldap": "dev-master"
    }
}

```

To select the component names & versions, you shall refer to information found at [Packagist](http://packagist.org)

Then you are ready to download all the vendor libraries and generate the autoloading configuration file:

```
$ php composer.phar install

```

From there, loading Ldap component classes as well as any other package supported in your composer.json configuration is as easy as adding the following code at the top of your script:

```
require_once '/path/to/project/vendor/autoload.php';

```
