[](#quick-start)

### Install PSR-7 library

[](#install-psr-7-library)

Limber does not ship with a PSR-7 implementation which is required to receive HTTP requests and send back responses. Let's pull one into our project.

- [slim/psr7](https://github.com/slimphp/Slim-Psr7)
- [laminas/laminas-diactoros](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-diactoros)
- [guzzlehttp/psr7](https://github.com/guzzle/psr7)
- [nimbly/Capsule](https://github.com/nimbly/Capsule)

```
composer require nimbly/capsule
```

### Sample application

[](#sample-application)

1. Create your entrypoint (or front controller), for example `index.php`, and start by creating a new `Router` instance and attaching your routes to it.
2. Once your routes have been defined, you can create the `Application` instance and pass the router in to it.
3. You can then `dispatch` requests through the application and receive a response back.
4. And finally, you can `send` a response back to the calling client.
